GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Fig. 1 9 - C h e y y If—Single Exhaust Systems
The single exhaust system on Chevy II models for six
cylinder engines (fig. 19) consists of an exhaust pipe,
muffler and tail pipe. On V-8 engines with single exhaust
assemblies (fig. 19) an exhaust crossover pipe is added
to connect the right exhaust manifold to the system. A
dual exhaust system (fig. 20), available on the V-8 engine
(except station wagons) includes two exhaust pipes,
mufflers,
tail pipes with resonators and attaching
hardware.
The assemblies are secured to the engine at the ex-
haust manifolds, to the center mounting at the muffler
location and adjacent to the gas tank at the end of the
tail pipe. The assemblies are suspended on brackets with
insulators for rattle free operation.
The muffler is an all-welded construction with a ca-
pacity for muffling the noise and at the same time,
minimizing back pressure for maximum engine ef-
ficiency.
The internal parts of the muffler are spot
welded in position while external parts are electric are
welded to eliminate a chance of premature failure or
rattle.
The exhaust system center mounting at the muffler lo-
cation consists of an underbody bracket, an insulator and
