Main Silencer Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

If the main silencer and middle pipe are reused after being separated once, exhaust gas leakage will occur. When replacing the main silencer or middle pipe, always replace the main silencer and middle pipe at the same time.

Install the main silencer so that the stopper is at the position shown in the figure.
