Exhaust System: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Milan, 2008 Lincoln MKZ, and 2008 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The 2.3L exhaust system consists of:
- a one-piece catalytic converter manifold.
- an exhaust flexible pipe.
- an underbody catalytic converter.
- a production muffler and tailpipe assembly.
- isolators installed on the body and muffler hangers.
The 3.0L exhaust system consists of:
- a one-piece catalytic converter manifold(s) (LH on all vehicles, RH on front wheel drive [FWD] vehicles).
- an exhaust manifold mounted catalytic converter (RH on all wheel drive [AWD] vehicles).
- an exhaust flexible pipe.
- an underbody catalytic converter.
- a production muffler and tailpipe assembly.
- isolators installed on the body and muffler hangers.
The 3.5L exhaust system consists of:
- two exhaust manifold mounted catalytic converters.
- an exhaust Y-pipe.
- a resonator and flex assembly.
- a production muffler and tailpipe assembly.
- isolators installed on the body and muffler hangers.
The exhaust system provides an exit for exhaust gases and reduces engine noise by passing exhaust gases through the catalytic converters, a muffler assembly and resonator. Rubber exhaust hanger isolators attach the exhaust system to the hangers welded on the body.
