Thin-walled ceramic monoliths are used to
improve cold starting behaviour.
On environmental grounds, the centre
silencer is fitted with long-fibre glass wool
instead of basalt wool.
A connecting pipe is located directly
upstream of the centre silencer.
This forms the joint between the two exhaust
pipes required for acoustic reasons.
With the 4.2 l and 3.7 l engines, the exhaust
system is of the dual-flow type.
It consists of two underbonnet catalytic
converters, two flexible decoupling elements,
two reflection-type front silencers, an
absorption-type centre silencer and two
reflection-type rear silencers with visible tail
pipes. The catalytic converters are of the two-
stage type and fitted with a ceramic monolith.
