Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

Is this exhaust system compatible with all 2007-2016 Jeep Compass models?

This exhaust system is designed to be compatible with all 2007-2016 Jeep Compass models, including 2.0L and 2.4L engine variants. It fits both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. However, minor modifications may be required for specific trims or aftermarket modifications. Always verify your vehicle’s specifications before purchase to ensure proper fitment and compatibility.

Q2

What maintenance is required for the exhaust system?

Regular maintenance for the exhaust system includes inspecting for rust, leaks, and physical damage every 6 months or 6,000 miles. Ensure all connections and hangers are secure. Cleaning the exterior with a mild detergent and water can prevent corrosion. Avoid harsh chemicals. Replace worn-out gaskets or mufflers promptly to maintain optimal performance and emissions compliance.

Q3

How do I install or replace the exhaust system?

To install or replace the exhaust system, first, safely lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the old exhaust by loosening clamps, bolts, and hangers. Align the new exhaust system, starting from the front and working backward. Secure all connections with new gaskets and bolts. Tighten clamps and hangers, ensuring proper alignment. Double-check for leaks before lowering the vehicle.

Q4

What should I do if my exhaust system is making noise?

If your exhaust system is making noise, inspect for loose clamps, damaged hangers, or leaks. Tighten any loose components and replace damaged parts. Check for holes or cracks in the pipes or muffler, which may require patching or replacement. Persistent noise could indicate internal muffler damage or catalytic converter issues, which should be professionally diagnosed.

Q5

How can I optimize the performance of my exhaust system?

To optimize performance, ensure your exhaust system is free of restrictions like dents or clogs. Upgrade to a high-flow catalytic converter or performance muffler for better airflow. Regularly check for leaks and maintain proper alignment. Pairing the exhaust system with a tuned intake and engine management system can further enhance performance and fuel efficiency.
