REPLACE INTERMEDIATE PIPE WELDED EXHAUST SYSTEMS

MODELS AFFECTED: 1985-86 DE VILLE, FLEETWOOD & CIMARRON 1986 ELDORADO, SEVILLE

All 1985-96 FWD De Villes, Fleetwoods, and Cimarrons, and 1986 Eldorado and Sevilles were equipped with welded exhaust systems. When replacing the intermediate exhaust pipe on any of these models, a service muffler will also have to be ordered unless the system was previously repaired. The replacement intermediate pipe outlet has the same outside diameter as the inlet of the original equipment muffler. The service muffler has a larger diameter inlet pipe that fits over the intermediate pipe outlet.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
