Intermediate Pipe Replacement (2.2L): Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire and 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Do not over-flex or damage the flex decoupler joint when moving the flex decoupler joint from the normal mounting position. The flex decoupler joint will flex a maximum of six degrees which is equivalent to the pipes connected at the joint which move 1 inch for each foot length of pipe. A three foot pipe would move a maximum of three inches.
