transmission of noise into the body:

Notes:

Before assembling the exhaust system, the
front exhaust pipes and the catalytic converters
must be aligned accurately and secured.
Loosen all bolted connections on the exhaust
system (except exhaust manifold and flange
mountings, catalytic converter/intermediate
pipe).
The exhaust system must be aligned when it is
cold.
Keep to the sequence described below.
