General procedures
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
