Exhaust system heat

~1min read

All vehicles with a catalytic converter have areas of high heat. Do not remove or coat the heat shields installed on the exhaust system with underbody protective compound.

Make sure the hot exhaust system does not come into contact with flammable materials (hay, dry leaves, etc.). Otherwise, there is a risk of fire, which may result in serious personal injury or property damage.◄
