Exhaust System
The 5.0L V8 exhaust system is fabricated from stainless steel and is supplied as three separate assemblies; a Left Hand (LH) front section incorporating a catalytic converter, a Right Hand (RH) front section incorporating a catalytic converter and a rear section incorporating a front silencer, a center silencer and two rear silencers.
The system is attached to the underside of the body with 5 mounting rubbers which are located on mild steel hanger bars that are welded to the system. The mounting rubbers locate on corresponding hangers which are welded to the underside of the vehicle body. The system is routed mainly on the inside of the LH chassis longitudinal before splitting near the rear differential to exit at each side of the rear of the vehicle.
The system has service repair items available. Indentations in the rear section, between the center and the rear silencers, show the cut points for the service replacement rear silencers or front section. When a service repair section is used, the joint is connected using a sleeve and two clamps to connect the pipes at the cut points.
