Tailpipe, Exhaust: Installation: Installation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Dodge Durango. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

Muffler installation is a two-man operation. Never allow the muffler to hang from the isolators. A helper is required so no damage will come to the isolators or to the tailpipe/muffler assembly.

NOTE:

Some exhaust systems are equipped with adjustable tail pipes and can be removed without removing the resonator assembly.

  1. If equipped with adjustable tail pipes. Install the tailpipe to the resonator outlet pipe and tighten clamp.

  4. Install tailpipe/resonator insulators (2).
