Exhaust System: Description and Operation

Exhaust System





Offset in position of the exhaust system during assembly may sometimes cause vibrations or rattling noise. Therefore, temporarily tighten the bolts until all the parts have been positioned, and sequentially tighten from the engine side to the rear pipe side.

Explanations on functions and operation

The exhaust brake assembly operates the auxiliary brakes by adjusting the exhaust pressure. The silencer has a built-in catalytic converter and the catalyst is a ceramic monolith (honeycomb). This reduces the CO and HC in the exhaust gas. The tail pipe has a built-in post silencer. This improves the silencing effect.

The main parts consist of the front exhaust pipe, center exhaust pipe, exhaust brake unit, silencer with built-in catalyst, and tail pipe.
