What it does
Rust and broken hangers are the usual reasons exhaust parts get replaced. Exhaust parts carry gases away from the engine; replacing rusted or restrictive parts fixes leaks and noise, and performance designs can add flow and sound.
Installation & tips
- Check local noise and emissions rules, and use new gaskets and hangers when you fit it.
- Clamps and hangers: Old hardware is usually rusted.
- Gaskets: New gaskets prevent leaks at each joint.
- Put the new part next to the old one and compare the shape, mounting points and connections before you install it.
- Work on a cool engine with the vehicle secured, and use a service manual for your vehicle for torque specs and procedures.
