If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to the specified torque. (Ref section for Torque specifications of bolt & Nuts).  Check nearby body areas for damage, missing or miss-positioned part, open seam, hole, loose connection or any other defect which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into vehicle.  Make sure that exhaust system components have enough clearance from underbody to avoid overheating and possible damage to floor carpet.  Any defects should be fixed at once.  After Installation, start engine & check each joint of Exhaust System for leakage. Exhaust System Inspection for leaks-  The vehicle is raised for an oil change  Notice a change in sound of the exhaust  The vehicle was in a crash that may have damaged the underside.

If dropped, it should not be used. WARNING  Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce very high temperatures in the engine and exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or other damage.  Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle on dry grass or other dry ground cover.
