+Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when
reassembling. If gasket remains on flange surface, scrape
off completely as shown at left.
+With engine running, check all tube connections for
exhaust gas leaks, and entire system for unusual noises.
+Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting
insulators are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive
noise or vibration.
+Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts which are
designed especially for heat resistance, corrosion
resistance, and shape.
+Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully
cooled down because the system will be heated just after
the engine stops.
