Exhaust System: Description and Operation

Exhaust System Description

The exhaust system design will vary according to the model and the intended use of the vehicle.

The exhaust system uses a flange and a seal joint coupling to secure the exhaust pipe to the engine manifold.

The exhaust system is suspended by hangers that are attached to the frame members. The hangers allow some movement of the exhaust system.

Notice: Replacement Of exhaust system parts must be OEM standard to ensure that the vehicle operates as designed.

Exhaust system performance complaints, such as excessive back pressure, have a noticeable effect on engine performance. However, other malfunctioning vehicle components have similar effects. Therefore it is necessary to refer to the diagnosis procedure when trying to identify and correct this type of problem.
