Exhaust System Description

Use of non-OEM parts may cause driveability concerns.

The exhaust system carries exhaust gases, treated by the catalytic converter, through a resonator, if applicable and

into the exhaust muffler where exhaust noise is lessened.

In order to secure the exhaust pipe to the exhaust manifold, a flange and seal-joint coupling is utilized. The exhaust

system may utilize a slip-joint coupling design with a clamp and a U-bolt or a flange connection with a gasket.

Exhaust hangers and rubber insulators help to support the weight of the exhaust pipe along with insulating any

exhaust system vibration, rattle, or noise.

Exhaust hangers also space the exhaust system away from the underbody of the vehicle and allows the exhaust

system to expand as the exhaust system warms up.

Exhaust heat shields are used to protect the body and other components from damage due to the heat from the

exhaust system.

The exhaust system may be comprised of the following components:

• Exhaust manifold

• Exhaust pipes

• Catalytic converters

• Exhaust muffler

• Exhaust resonator, if equipped

• Exhaust tail pipe, if equipped

• Exhaust hangers

• Exhaust heat shields
