When assembling exhaust system do not tighten clamps until components are aligned and clearances are checked.

CAUTION: Band clamps should never be tightened such that the two sides of the clamps are bottomed out against the center hourglass shaped center block. Once this occurs, the clamp band has been stretched and has lost its clamping force and must be replaced.

NOTE: Maintain proper clamp orientation when replacing with new clamp.
