GENERAL

The
exhaust
system
is
designed
to
be
maintenance
free,
al-
though
regular
inspection
is
warranted
due
to
the
harsh
oper-
atingconditions
.
Under
normal
conditions,
the
catalytic

converter
does
not
require
replacement
unless
it
is
damaged
.

On
1996
and
later
cars,
a
pre-
and
post-catalytic
converter

oxygen
sensor
is
used
at
each
catalytic
converter
.
Be
sure
to

take
care
when
removingthe
system
not
to
damage
the

See
130

for
information
on
testing
oxygen

sensors
.

NOTE-

OnM52
engines,
two
resonator
pípes
(short
and
long)
are
incorporated
into
the
rear
muffler
assembly
.
See
Fíg
.

.
An
exhaust
flap
is
integrated
into
the
outlet
side
of
the
short
pipe
.
The
flap
is
operated
by
a
vacuum
ac-
tuator
via
the
Siemens
MS
41
.1
engine
control
mod-
ule)
.
The
flap
is
closed
at
engine
speeds
below
2,500
rpm
.
This
allows
exhaust
gasses
to
flow
through
the
long
resonator
pipe
and
reduce
noise
.
Above
2,500rpm,
the
exhaust
flap
is
open
(no
vacuum
applied
to
the
actuator)
and
allows
exhaust
gasses
to
flow
through
the
short
pipe
for
maximum
performance
.

.
Immediately
repair
any
leaks
in
the
exhaust
system
or
structural
damage
to
the
car
body
that
might

.

New
fasteners,
clamps,rubber

should

be
used
when
replacing
exhaust
components
.
A
liberal
appli-
cationof
penetrating
oil
to
the

nuts
and
bolts
in
advance
may
make
removal
easier
.

WARNING
-

"
The

op-
erate
at
high
temperatures
.
Allow

Do
not
use
flammable
chemicals
near

"
Old,
corroded

crumble
easíly
and
often
have
exposed
