How to Remove the Stock Exhaust From a 1999 Dodge Ram Sport
- 1). Place a jack stand under the exhaust piping at various intervals to support the exhaust while you remove it.
- 2). Unbolt the exhaust to manifold bolts located at the front of the exhaust system. You may need to use an extended handle on the socket wrench, called a "breaker bar," to apply additional leverage on the bolts to remove them.
- 3). Disconnect the electrical wiring on the O2 sensors on the exhaust. These are plug-style connectors that pull right off.
- 4). Separate the exhaust piping from the manifold. It should pull right apart, but depending on where you live and the condition of the piping, you may need to pry the joint apart with a large flat-tip screwdriver.
- 5). Slide the exhaust piping and muffler off the rubber exhaust hangers on the underbody of the Dodge and drop the exhaust down gently onto the ground.
