Muffler: Description and Operation

Muffler Overview

• After exhaust system repairs, make sure the exhaust system is not under stress and that it has sufficient clearance from the body. If necessary, loosen the clamp(s) and align the exhaust pipe so that sufficient clearance is maintained to the body and the retaining rings carry uniform loads.
