Muffler: Service and Repair




MUFFLER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - 2.5L









NOTE:The production 2.5L catalytic converter, resonator and muffler assembly is a 1-piece construction. The service catalytic converter and resonator/muffler is a 2-piece construction.
NOTE:If replacement is not required, the production catalytic converter and muffler assembly can be removed and installed as one piece. It is only necessary to cut the production exhaust to enable the service section to be fitted. Before cutting any part of the exhaust system, check that the position of the cut is correct in comparison to the service section being installed.
1. The muffler and catalytic converter are serviced together. See - Service and Repair.
