Exhaust System Description (LDE, LXT, LXV, 2H0, LUW and

Catalytic Converter
The catalytic converter is an emission control device added to
the engine exhaust system in order to reduce hydrocarbons (HC),
carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) pollutants from
the exhaust gas. The catalytic converter is comprised of a ceramic
monolith substrate, supported in insulation and housed within a
sheet metal shell. The substrate may be washcoated with 3 noble
metals, Platium (Pt), Palladium (Pd) and Rhodium (Rh). The catalyst
in the converter is not serviceable.
Exhaust Rear Muffler

It is comprised of a series of perforated tubes and baffles to
break up the sound waves and reflect them.
It is made of stainless steel to protect the front muffler from
corrosion.
It is mounted behind the rear wheel.
