Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Inspect the dual converter and pipe, catalytic converters, mufflers and pipes for cracked joints, broken welds and corrosion damage that would result in a leaking exhaust system. Inspect the clamps, brackets and insulators for cracks and stripped or badly corroded bolt threads. When pipe clamp(s) is loosened and/or removed to replace a pipe or muffler replace the clamp(s) if there is reasonable doubt that its service life is limited.
