OPERATION

exhaust as if leaves the engine.
TAILPIPE
DESCRIPTION
The tailpipe is made of stainless steel and attaches
to the muffler (Fig. 5).
OPERATION
The tailpipe channels the exhaust out of the muf-
fler and out from under the vehicle to control noise
and prevent exhaust gas fumes from entering the
passenger compartment.
HEAT SHIELDS

There are two types of heat shields used. One is
stamped steel the other is molded foil sheets. The
shields attach to the vehicle around the exhaust system
(Fig. 6).
OPERATION

system from entering the passenger area and other
areas where the heat can cause damage to other com-
ponents.
