Section 27 (Exhaust System): Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Dodge Challenger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Inspect the exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, muffler, and resonators for cracked joints, broken welds and corrosion damage that would result in a leaking exhaust system. Inspect the clamps, support brackets, and insulators for cracks and corrosion damage.
NOTE:
Slip joint band clamps are spot/tack welded to exhaust system. If a band clamp must be replaced, the spot/tack weld must be ground off.
