  Q: How to Service the Tail Pipe and Muffler on Lincoln MKS?

  A: You should start the muffler and tailpipe service procedure by hoisting the vehicle in NEUTRAL position. The Torca® clamp nut should be loosened starting from the muffler and tailpipe while keeping them stable with a suitable jackstand before torquing the clamp to 55 Nm (41 lb-ft) during reinstalling. Try not to injure the isolators when taking them off so use soapy water to create space between the four isolators before carefully taking the muffler and tailpipe assembly out. Your installation of mechanic's wire throughout the intermediate pipe will protect the flexible pipe from any potential damage. The installation process requires reversal of removal steps while checking all isolators for damage or tears to replace any faulty units. Please start the engine afterwards to inspect exhaust leak potential.
