GENERAL INFORMATION
Throughout this group, references may be made to a particular vehicle by letter or number designation. A chart showing the breakdown of these designations is included in the Introduction Section at the front of this service manual. mufflers, and resonators are sized and tuned to each vehicle/powertrain combination (Fig. 2).
EXHAUST SYSTEMS
The exhaust systems are produced in several configurations, depending on engine and car line (Fig. 1). One system has an underfloor catalytic converter, other systems require front mounted catalytic converters. Some turbocharged engines require, an underfloor converter/resonator assembly. Tail pipes,
EXHAUST BALL JOINT COUPLING A exhaust ball joint coupling (Fig. 3) is used to secure the exhaust pipe to the engine manifold. This living joint actually moves back and forth as the engine moves, preventing breakage that could occur from the back-and-forth motion of a transverse mounted engine. The exhaust ball joint consists of two bolts, two springs, and a ball joint seal ring which is a separate part from the exhaust pipe.

HEAT SHIELDS Heat shields (Fig. 4) are needed to protect both the car and the environment from the high temperatures

The use of the catalysts also involves some nonautomotive problems. Unleaded gasoline must be used to avoid poisoning the catalyst core. Do not allow engine to operate above 1200 RPM in neutral for extended periods over 5 minutes. This condition may result in excessive exhaust system/floor pan temperatures because of no air movement under the vehicle.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM To assist in the control of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in engine exhaust, some engines are equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation system. The use of exhaust gas to dilute incoming air/fuel mixtures lowers peak flame temperatures during combustion, thus limiting the formation of NOx. Exhaust gases are taken from openings in the exhaust gas crossover passage in the intake manifold. REFER TO SECTION 25 EMISSION SYSTEMS FOR A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION, DIAGNOSIS AND SERVICE PROCEDURES ON THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS.
