Exhaust System Neutralizing

  1. Loosen the muffler inlet pipe and resonator pipe to exhaust manifold fasteners at the flanges and the muffler inlet connection.
  2. Place a stand to support the muffler parallel to the vehicle frame with the muffler pipe bracket free of stress.
  3. Tighten the muffler connection.
  4. Position the exhaust pipes to the manifolds and tighten. Make sure that the catalytic converter and heat shield do not contact the frame rails.
  5. With the complete exhaust system tight (and cooled) the rear hanger insulator should be angled forward, to allow the system to expand rearward when heated during normal running.
