86 Maintenance
Exhaust System
Make sure the exhaust system is intact.
Inspect for damage, misalignment and/or
leakage. Primary system components
requiring noise related inspection
include muffler body, exhaust manifold,
turbocharger, and all exhaust system (rigid
and flexible) piping. Closely check the
system for exhaust leaks. Special attention
should be given to all welds, seams, gaskets,
support points, clamps, couplings and
connections.
Inspect all exhaust system fasteners,
brackets, and clamps for damage and
tightness. Check integrity of internal muffler
baffling by revving the engine through
normal operating speeds. Excessive rattling
sounds or very loud operation indicates a
failure within the muffler.
Acts that constitute tampering with the
Exhaust System:
Removing or rendering inoperative exhaust
system components (such as the muffler,
pipes, clamps, etc.).
WARNING
Hot engine! Keep yourself clear of all
moving parts or hot engine parts, exhaust
gases, and/or fluids. A hot engine,
exhaust, and/or fluids can cause burns.
