To remove a service exhaust tailpipe/muffler combination, apply heat until the metal becomes cherry red. Remove the exhaust tailpipe/muffler
clamp and twist the exhaust tailpipe out of the muffler.
INSTALLATION
1. Assemble catalytic converter and muffler loosely to permit proper alignment of all parts.
2. Install the exhaust tailpipe into the rear of the muffler.
3. Install the exhaust tailpipe/muffler assembly on the rear exhaust tailpipe hanger. Make sure that the exhaust tailpipe has sufficient clearance from
the floor pan.
4. Tighten the nut on the muffler-to-catalytic converter clamp to 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs.) torque.
5. Insert rods into isolators.
6. Lower the vehicle.
7. Start the engine and inspect for exhaust leaks and exhaust system contact with the body panels. Adjust the alignment, if needed.
