Exhaust System: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The exhaust system consists of a catalytic converter, muffler, and a resonator with connecting pipes in-between. The system is serviced in three sections; the catalytic converter the muffler and the resonator and tailpipe (Fig 1 ). A torca clamp is used to connect the joint between the muffler and catalytic converter. A torca clamp is used to connect the muffler and the resonator and tailpipe. Support hanger rods with rubber isolators are used to support and isolate the exhaust system. A flexible joint, integral to the catalytic converter, allows for engine movement. A second flexible joint is located between the muffler and the resonator/tailpipe assemble to allow for exhaust system movement. The exhaust system is tuned for each vehicle/powertrain combination.
