RJ-1732-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:58

The sub muffler that is placed in front of the exhaust pipe is not properly welded, and therefore, the welded sections may crack due to vibration during driving. If this problem is left unattended, the cracks may grow, and in the worst case, the sub muffler and the exhaust pipe may separate from each other, in which case the noise level would increase.
