20 Exhaust system - general information, removal and refitting
General information
1 On most models, the exhaust system consists of three sections: the front pipe which incorporates the catalytic converter, the intermediate pipe and centre silencer, and the tailpipe and main silencer box. On models equipped with an automatic transmission unit, the exhaust system is split into four sections; the system is identical to that described above except that the catalytic converter is a separate item and not an integral part of the front pipe.
2 All exhaust sections are joined by flanged joints which are secured by bolts. Some of the joints are of the spring-loaded ball type, to allow for movement in the exhaust system. The system is suspended throughout its entire length by rubber mountings.
Removal - general
3 Each exhaust section can be removed
individually, or alternatively, the complete system can be removed as a unit. Even if only one part of the system needs attention, it is often easier to remove the whole system and separate the sections on the bench.
4 To remove the system or part of the system, first jack up the front or rear of the car and support it securely on axle stands. Alternatively, position the car over an inspection pit or on car ramps.
Front pipe removal
5 Slacken and remove the bolts and springs securing the front pipe flange joint to the manifold.
6 Undo the bolts securing the front pipe to the intermediate pipe and remove the pipe from underneath the vehicle. Recover the gasket from the pipe-to-manifold joint.
7 Slacken and remove the bolts securing the front pipe flange joint to the manifold (see illustration).
8 On manual transmission models, unscrew the nut securing the front pipe to its mounting bracket and remove the washer, spacer and mounting rubber (see illustration 19.43).
