Exhaust System: Description and Operation

WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Never attempt to repair or replace any part of the system until it has cooled. Be especially careful when working around the three way catalytic converter. The temperature of the three way catalytic converter rises to a high level after only a few minutes of engine operation.

CAUTION: When repairing exhaust system or removing exhaust components, disconnect all heated oxygen sensors at the wiring connectors to prevent damage to the heated oxygen sensors and wiring harness.

The exhaust system:
^ contains a dual converter Y-pipe.
^ has two upstream heated oxygen sensors mounted in the dual converter Y-pipe.
^ utilizes an exhaust system flex tube.
