TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
The 3.5L exhaust system consists of
- two exhaust manifold mounted catalytic converters.
- an exhaust Y-pipe.
- a muffler and tail pipe assembly.
- isolators installed on the body and muffler hangers.
The 3.5L Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI) exhaust system consists of
- two turbocharger-mounted catalytic converters.
- an underbody catalytic converter.
- a muffler and tail pipe assembly.
- isolators installed on the body and muffler hangers.
The exhaust system provides an exit for exhaust gases and reduces engine noise by passing exhaust gases through the catalytic converters and muffler assembly. Rubber exhaust hanger isolators attach the exhaust system to the mounting hooks.
