Exhaust System: Description and Operation
Exhaust SystemWARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Never attempt to seduce 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 exhaust system or removing exhaust components, disconnect all Heated Oxygen Sensors (H02S) at the wiring connectors to prevent damage to the heated oxygen sensors and wiring harness.
The exhaust system is comprised of the components shown in the following illustrations.
