how to fix the noise coming from my Genesis G70 exhaust?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts before starting.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the parking brake is engaged.

2. Raise the Vehicle

• Use a hydraulic jack to lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands.
• Ensure the area is well-ventilated if working underneath the vehicle.

3. Inspect and Repair Exhaust Components

• Muffler Replacement:

  • Remove the exhaust hangers using a hanger removal tool.
  • Unbolt the muffler from the exhaust pipe using a socket set (typically 13mm or 15mm).
  • Install the new muffler by reversing the removal steps; ensure all bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications.

• Exhaust Pipe Repair:

  • If a section of the exhaust pipe is damaged, cut out the damaged section using a reciprocating saw.
  • Measure and cut a new section of exhaust pipe to fit.
  • Use exhaust clamps to secure the new section in place, tightening to manufacturer specifications.

4. Reinstall Components

• Reattach any exhaust hangers and ensure all components are properly aligned.
• Double-check that all bolts and clamps are secure.

5. Lower the Vehicle

• Carefully remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle using the hydraulic jack.
