Exhaust System: Description and Operation

WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Never attempt to service any part of the system until it has cooled. Be especially careful when working around the three way catalytic converter. The temperature of the three way catalytic converter rises to a high level after only a few minutes of engine operation.

CAUTION: When servicing the exhaust system or removing exhaust components, disconnect all heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) at the wiring connectors to prevent damage to the heated oxygen sensors and the wiring harness.

The exhaust system consists of:
^ the dual converter Y pipe.
^ the exhaust system flex tube.
^ the three way catalytic converter.
^ the muffler.
^ the muffler pipe bracket.
