Catalytic Converter: Adjustments

Exhaust System Insatallation:

Perform the following procedures to align the complete exhaust system:

1. Loosen pipe connections at exhaust manifold, all flanges and the catalyst-to-rear engine mount U-bolt.

2. Align the flat flanges between the exhaust damper and three-way catalytic converter, and the three way catalytic converter and muffler. Tighten nuts to 36-42 Nm (27-31 lb.ft.).

3. Rotate the muffler to provide sufficient clearance to the frame, body and drivetrain to avoid ground-out conditions. Tighten flange nuts to 36-42 Nm (27-31 lb ft).

4. Tighten exhaust manifold connection by alternately tightening the right side and left side bolts or nuts to 34-46 Nm (25-34 lb ft).
