Exhaust System Alignment

1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
2. Loosen all exhaust component fasteners and clamps from the exhaust manifolds (gasoline engines) or the turbocharger (diesel engines) to the muffler inlet pipe.

3. Note: Make sure the exhaust insulators are hanging straight up and down.

Beginning at the front of the vehicle, align the exhaust system to establish maximum clearance. Make sure the slip fit pipes are pushed all the way together and the notches are correctly lined up with the tabs.

4. Beginning at the front of the vehicle, tighten all fasteners and clamps to specification.
5. Start the engine and check the exhaust system for leaks.
