Note
After working on the exhaust system, ensure that the system is
not under stress and that it has sufficient clearance from the body.
If necessary, loosen clamps and align silencers and exhaust
pipes so that sufficient clearance is maintained to the body at all
points and the mountings are evenly loaded.
