Removal and Installation
WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Never attempt to remove any part of the system until it
has cooled. Be especially careful when working around the catalytic converters. The temperature of the converter rises to a high level after
only a few minutes of engine operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Index-mark both the driveshaft flanges.
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
2. Remove the 2 nuts and separate the exhaust system at the flex pipe.
