Exhaust System: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION





The exhaust system consists of two front close coupled catalytic converters, a RH rear muffler and resonator assembly, and on vehicles equipped with dual exhaust, LH resonator and tailpipe assembly.

For the single exhaust systems, the RH muffler, resonator and tailpipe (4) are one single unit.




EXHAUST SYSTEM - V8 DUAL SYSTEM





On a 5.7L, both catalytic converters attach directly to the exhaust manifold using studs and nuts. The 3.6L converters are mounted to an integrated exhaust manifold .
The 3.6L/5.7L exhaust down pipes exit the converters and connect into the rear muffler and resonator (1 and 4). The upstream oxygen sensors are located in each exhaust manifold.
