Exhaust System Alignment

EXHAUST SYSTEM ALIGNMENT

During installation of a new exhaust pipe, muffler or tail pipe, care should be taken to properly position components in relation to each other.
Incorrectly assembled parts of the exhaust system are frequently the cause of annoying noises and rattles. After adjusting the hangers, aligning pipes, and repositioning the muffler, check the entire system for adequate clearance and then tighten all clamps, working from the front to rear. Start the engine and inspect all connections for leakage.
