Abstract
A method for assembling an exhaust component includes providing a substrate assembly with a substrate body and a mat wrapped around the substrate body. A gauging system is used to determine a hoop stress for the substrate assembly and is used to predict a shrinking diameter for an outer shell that is to receive the substrate assembly based on the hoop stress.
