2000 Cadillac Eldorado Exhaust Pipe Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to service the exhaust pipe on 2000 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: Service operations on the Exhaust Pipe require lifting the vehicle to proper support position. The first step entails removing the exhaust downpipe by unfastening the nuts which connect it to the Catalytic Converter and subsequently unfastening the four bolts holding it to the Exhaust Manifold before pulling out the exhaust downpipe. Placing the exhaust downpipe correctly in position starts the procedure before securing it using four bolts on the Exhaust Manifold without tightening them. After positioning the Catalytic Converter bolts to its correct location install the nuts. Secure the Catalytic Converter bolts with torque of 24 nm (18 ft.lbs.) while following the fastener notice in service precautions. Proceed to tighten both right exhaust downpipe bolts connected to Exhaust Manifold at 40 nm torque (30 ft. Lbs.) while tightening left exhaust downpipe bolts at 40 nm torque (30 ft. Lbs.). The parallel orientation between converter flanges and Exhaust Manifold rear pipe needs inspection; straighten the Exhaust Manifold rear pipe by adjusting its bolt position if necessary. Finally, lower the vehicle.
