Noise, Vibration and Harshness - Exhaust System Neutralizing
General Procedures Published: 11-May-2011
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
