Exhaust System: Description and Operation

Exhaust System

• Replace gaskets and self-locking nuts.

• After exhaust system repairs, make sure exhaust system is not under stress and is far enough from the body. If necessary, loosen clamping sleeves and align mufflers and exhaust pipes so that there is adequate distance to vehicle body, and weight is evenly distributed among the exhaust hangers.

• Decoupling elements in the front muffler exhaust pipes must not be bent more than 10° - danger of damage.

• In the illustration, the exhaust manifolds with catalytic converters and the front muffler are shown for the left cylinder bank.
