Exhaust System: Description and Operation
EXHAUST SYSTEMDESCRIPTION - 2.7L DIESEL
CAUTION: Avoid application of rust prevention compounds or undercoating materials to exhaust system floor pan exhaust heat shields. Light overspray near the edges is permitted. Application of coating will result in excessive floor pan temperatures and objectionable fumes.
The diesel engine exhaust system consists of an engine exhaust manifold, turbocharger, exhaust pipe, resonator, extension pipe (if needed), muffler and exhaust tailpipe (Fig. 1).
The exhaust system must be properly aligned and secured to prevent stress, leakage and body contact. The exhaust components should be kept a minimum of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) away from the body and frame. If the system contacts any body panel, it may amplify objectionable noises from the engine or body.
