Exhaust System Components, Removing And Installing

NOTE:
- After exhaust system repairs, make sure exhaust system is not under stress and that it has sufficient clearance from the bodywork. If necessary, loosen double clamps and align muffler and exhaust pipe so that sufficient clearance is maintained to the bodywork and mounts carry uniform loads.
- Do not use any silicone sealant. Traces of silicone components which are sucked into the engine are not burned there, and they damage the oxygen sensor.
- Always replace self-locking nuts.
- Components marked with * are tested via On Board Diagnostic (OBD), Diagnostic mode 3: Check DTC memory.
