Exhaust System: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION




Figure 1 - MUFFLER AND RESONATOR ASSEMBLY - 2.0L/2.4L/3.6L





The exhaust system on the 2.0L/2.4L engine models consists of a front mounted catalytic converter, resonator/pipe assembly, muffler/pipe assembly, band clamps, and support isolators. The upstream oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust manifold. The downstream oxygen sensor is located in the catalytic converter.




Figure 2 - MUFFLER/RESONATOR ASSEMBLY - 3.6L





The exhaust system of a 3.6L consists of front and rear bank catalytic converters, cross-under pipe, connector pipe, resonator/pipe assembly, muffler/pipe assembly, band clamps, and support isolators. The upstream oxygen sensors are located in the front and rear exhaust manifolds. The downstream oxygen sensors are located in the cross-under pipe.

Resonators, mufflers, and exhaust pipes are tuned to each powertrain combination.
