Removal and installation of the subsequent muffler

Withdrawal

If a two-piece exhaust system is installed, disconnect the intermediate pipe at the marked points, see illustrations on page 79, 80. The two-piece exhaust system is installed at the factory.

Note: A standard pipe cutter, such as the HAZET4682, is best suited for disconnection.

If a three-piece exhaust system is fitted, unscrew the U-bolt -B- and remove the downstream muffler from the retaining tab.

Remove the subsequent muffler with a twisting motion. If the rear exhaust pipe is not removed, heat up the joint with a welding torch, if available.

Attention: At the same time, cover the fuel tank with sheet asbestos.

If there is no welding torch, disconnect the exhaust pipe with a hacksaw or abrasive wheel. Saw the piece of pipe remaining on the intermediate pipe lengthwise and knock it down with a chisel.

Installation

So that the nuts and bolts of the exhaust system can be loosened more easily later, it is recommended to lubricate them with a high-temperature paste, such as Liqui Moly LM-508-ASC.

Install new after muffler, align and secure with yoke (replacement part).


Install new retaining loops.

Tighten the fastening yoke nuts to 40 Nm.

Lower the car.
