Muffler and Tailpipe: Removal

NOTE: Do not excessively bend, twist or allow the exhaust to hang from the flexible pipe or damage to the exhaust system may occur.
NOTE: Do not use oil or grease-based lubricants on the isolators. These lubricants may cause deterioration of the rubber. This can lead to separation of the isolator from the exhaust hanger bracket during vehicle operation. Use only water-based lubricants on the isolators.
  1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, REFER to JACKING AND LIFTING for lifting points.
  2. Support the muffler and tailpipe with a suitable jackstand.
  3. Loosen the Torca® clamp retainer.
  4. NOTE: Do not damage or tear the isolators during removal.

    Using soapy water, detach the 4 muffler and tailpipe isolators and remove the muffler and tailpipe.
