Exhaust System

WARNING: THE NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS VERY HIGH. THEREFORE, NEVER WORK AROUND OR ATTEMPT TO SERVICE ANY PART OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM UNTIL IT IS COOLED. SPECIAL CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING NEAR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CONVERTER RISES TO A HIGH LEVEL AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF ENGINE OPERATION TIME.

DESCRIPTION






The exhaust system consist of two front close coupled catalytic converters. Both converters attach directly to the exhaust manifold using a V-Band clamp. The exhaust down pipes exit the converters and connect into the front resonator. The front resonator, intermediate pipe, and muffler are one single module. The rear resonator and tailpipe connect to the muffler outlet. The upstream oxygen sensors are located in each exhaust manifold. The downstream oxygen sensors are located at the rear of each catalytic converter.

OPERATION
The exhaust system channels the exhaust gases created by engine to the rear of the vehicle. The muffler and resonator quiets the exhaust noises. The catalytic converter reduces exhaust emissions.
