Exhaust System: Description and Operation
COMPONENTS
The exhaust systems consists of two front exhaust pipes equipped with close coupled metallic catalytic converters and the exhaust module. The exhaust module is a one piece welded module consisting of a underfloor ceramic catalytic converter and a muffler.
NOTE: The exhaust system must be properly aligned to prevent undue stress, leakage and body contact. If the system contacts any other vehicle component, it may amplify objectionable noises originating from the engine or other components. These contacts could also be detrimental to the performance of the affected component.
SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS
There are three service components available for each vehicle when servicing the module:
- Under floor catalytic convertor
- Muffler assembly
- Tailpipe assembly
There are different muffler assemblies and resonator assemblies, dependent on the type of vehicle being serviced. Be certain to select the proper assembly for the vehicle being serviced.
