2001 Cadillac Catera Muffler Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the right muffler on 2001 Cadillac Catera?

  A: Start by elevating your vehicle for right muffler replacement. Start by unmounting the clamp nut on the right exhaust muffler to resonator then remove the muffler pipe flange bolts . Secure the muffler hanger insulator retainers before separating the hanger insulators from support rods along with the muffler. The right muffler needs to be extracted from its position on the resonator. The right muffler installation process begins with attaching it to the resonator then moving to attach hanger insulators to support rods and the muffler before adding hanger insulator retainers to support rods. Secure the muffler pipe flange bolts at 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs.) torque. The installation requires a 25 Nm torque on the right exhaust muffler resonator clamp. Before moving on, test the exhaust system by checking both the clearances and conducting a leak inspection when the vehicle reaches the ground.
