49 Exhaust NOTICE When the CGI pipes and bellows are installed, there should be approximately 3/4 inch (19 mm) clearance from the main bellows. Contact between the bellows could result in an exhaust leak, which in this case may allow ingestion of contaminants into the engine causing engine damage. 6.3 Use a straightedge to align the pipes so that the pipe ends that attach to the bellows are parallel and concentric. 8. Using a yellow paint pen, mark the pipes 1.
