GENERAL INFORMATION The 4.0L engines use a seal between the engine
exhaust manifold and exhaust pipe to assure a tight

When inspecting an exhaust system, critically
inspect for cracked or loose joints, stripped screw or
bolt threads, corrosion damage and worn, cracked or
broken hangers. Replace all components that are
badly corroded or damaged. DO NOT attempt to
repair.
When replacement is required, use original equip-
ment parts (or their equivalent). This will assure
proper alignment and provide acceptable exhaust
noise levels.

CAUTION: Avoid application of rust prevention
compounds or undercoating materials to exhaust
system floor pan exhaust heat shields. Light over
spray near the edges is permitted. Application of
coating will result in excessive floor pan tempera-
tures and objectionable fumes.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
The stainless steel catalytic converter body is
designed to last the life of the vehicle. Excessive heat
can result in bulging or other distortion, but exces-
sive heat will not be the fault of the converter. If
unburned fuel enters the converter, overheating may
occur. If a converter is heat-damaged, correct the
cause of the damage at the same time the converter
is replaced. Also, inspect all other components of the
exhaust system for heat damage.

Replace restricted part if necessary.

When servicing and replacing exhaust system components, disconnect the oxygen sensor connector(s). Allowing
the exhaust to hang by the oxygen sensor wires will damage the harness and/or sensor.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (6) Remove the clamp nuts and clamp (Fig. 2). To
remove the exhaust pipe from the catalytic converter,
