MAINTENANCE
EXHAUST SYSTEM
At approximately 2000 miles, or in preparation for off season
storage, it is a good idea to check the exhaust system for wear
or damage. To inspect, allow the engine and exhaust system to
cool completely. Open the hood and inspect the muffler and
pipes for cracks or damage. Check for weak or missing
retaining springs, and also check the damper/support
grommets.
Springs are installed in such a way so that the opening of the
hook that you are puling on is facing the item being held.
Stainless steel (gray color) springs (AA) are located at the
header pipe. Other (gold color) springs (A) are everywhere
else.
EXHAUST REMOVAL
1. Let engine and exhaust system to cool completely before
preforming any service.
2. Disconnect and remove all the exhaust springs (A and
AA).
NOTE: The stainless steel springs (gray in color),
hold the exhaust pipe to the manifold are designed
to handle higher temperature ranges then the other
springs.
3. Disconnect the exhaust temperature sensor (if equipped).
4. Remove the exhaust pipe (C), resonator seal (D) and
manifold seal (E).
5. Remove the resonator (F). Some models use rubber
isolators (G) and will need the nut (L) removed in order to
remove the resonator.
6. Remove the manifold (H) and gaskets (I) by removing the
manifold mounting bolts (J).
7. Check the condition of the vibration dampener (K) and
replace if damaged.
8. Check the condition of the resonator outlet boot (M) and
replace if damaged.
EXHAUST INSTALLATION
1. Install new exhaust manifold gaskets (I).
2. Place the exhaust manifold (H) on to the engine and torque
the mounting bolts (J) to 18 ft-lb(24Nm).
3. Install the resonator (F). Some models utilize resonator
locating tabs (M) that need to be lined up and pushed down
to assure the correct position.
4. If rubber isolators (G) are used on the resonator, secure
them by installing the isolator nuts (L).
5. Check the condition of the vibration dampener (K) and
replace if it is damaged.
6. Insert the exhaust seals (D,E) onto the manifold (H) and
