Exhaust System: Description and Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION
The exhaust system has an underfloor catalytic converter, tail pipe, and muffler.





BALL JOINT COUPLING
An exhaust ball joint coupling is used to secure the exhaust pipe to the engine exhaust manifold. This flexible joint moves back and forth as the engine moves, preventing breakage that could occur from the back-and-forth motion of a transverse mounted engine.

Components
The exhaust ball joint consists of two bolts, two springs, and a ball joint seal ring, which is a separate part from the exhaust pipe.
