How to Properly Assemble and Tighten a Muffler System on Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Don't tighten any clamps until the different components are aligned and checked for proper clearance. Put the muffler on the intermediate section and attached the isolator supports to the bottom of the car. As you face the front of the machine, follow specifications by aligning each piece so that no underbody parts touch the components. Turn the clamp on the band until it reaches 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.). Avoid tightening the bands on your clamps so much that the two ends clash with the center hourglass shape, as this weakens the band and requires you to replace it. Take out the nut, slide back the band clamp ends and break the weld to remove the clamp. Then grind or file what's left of the weld to allow for smooth connection when you put on the new clamp. Attach the exhaust system ground strap, begin the engine, examine the exhaust system for leaks and make any needed repairs. Also, make sure there is no contact between the exhaust and the car's body and make adjustments if required.

How to Service a Muffler on Chrysler PT Cruiser?

The muffler should be serviced only after the exhaust system has cooled, since it gets very hot, notably so at the catalytic converter. Use a hoist to elevate the car, then spread penetrating oil on the band clamp fastener of the part you will remove. Avoid applying petroleum lubricants to muffler or exhaust pipe isolators; a mixture of liquid dish soap and water is safer to use. Detach the waste ground strap at the end of the muffler. Gently release the band clamp and unhook both pairs of support isolators on the muffler. After that, loosen the bolts holding it to the intermediate pipe and separate the two. Clean the ends of all pipes and mufflers so they pair correctly and take off any worn isolators, rusted clamps, supports and parts that attach to your exhaust. Any time you replace an exhaust system part, opt for original equipment or similar ones.
