Exhaust system components, removing and installing: Notes

NOTE:
  • Always replace gaskets and self -locking nuts.
  • After exhaust system repairs, make sure exhaust system is not under stress and has sufficient clearance from the body. If necessary, loosen clamps and align mufflers and exhaust pipes so that there is adequate distance to vehicle body, and weight is evenly distributed among the exhaust mounts.
  • Decoupling element in front exhaust pipe must not be bent more than 10°, otherwise it may be damaged.
