Exhaust System Components, Removing And Installing

NOTE:
- Always replace seals and gaskets, self-locking nuts and clamps.
- After working on the exhaust system ensure that the system is not under stress, and that it has sufficient clearance from the bodywork. If necessary, loosen clamp and align silencers and exhaust pipe so that sufficient clearance is maintained to the bodywork at all points and the mountings are evenly loaded.
- Loosen and tighten clamping plates for heat shields with a screwdriver. Tightening torque: 2 Nm
- De-coupling element on front exhaust pipe may only be bent slightly (not more than 10 degrees).
- If droning noises can be heard after aligning the exhaust system, adjust the engine mountings.
