EXHAUST PIPE INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

   
   
   1. 

      Text in Illustration

      *1	Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly
      *2	Gasket
      *a	Wooden Block

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the 2 compression springs.

      Minimum

      40.5 mm (1.59 in.)

      Tech Tips

      If the free length is less than minimum, replace the compression spring.

   2. Temporarily install a new gasket to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly.

   3.

      *1	Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly
      *2	Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *3	Gasket
      *a	Space between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.)

      Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly.

      Note

      
      

      • Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.

      • Do not reuse the gasket.

      • Do not damage the gasket.

      • Do not push in the gasket by using the exhaust pipe when connecting it.

   4. Connect the front exhaust pipe assembly to the exhaust pipe support.

   5. Install the front exhaust pipe assembly to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.

      Torque:

      43 N*m  { 438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly and front exhaust pipe assembly is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.

      

2. INSTALL CENTER EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

   
   

   1. Install a new gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly.

   2. Connect the center exhaust pipe assembly to the exhaust pipe support.

   3. Install the center exhaust pipe assembly to the front exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 nuts.

      Torque:

      43 N*m  { 438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

3. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

   
   
   1.

      *1	Center Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *2	Gasket
      *a	Wooden Block

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.

      Minimum

      38.5 mm (1.52 in.)

      Tech Tips

      If the free length is less than minimum, replace the compression spring.

   2. Temporarily install a new gasket to the center exhaust pipe assembly.

   3.

      *1	Tail Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *2	Center Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *3	Gasket
      *a	Space between Flanges: 6.5 mm (0.256 in.)

      Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the gasket until its surface is flush with the center exhaust pipe assembly.

      Note

      
      

      • Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.

      • Do not reuse the gasket.

      • Do not damage the gasket.

      • Do not push in the gasket by using the exhaust pipes when connecting them.

   4. Connect the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.

   5. Install the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the center exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.

      Torque:

      43 N*m  { 438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the center exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe assembly is consistent front-to-rear and left-to right.

      

4. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE LH

   
   

   1. Install a new gasket to the center exhaust pipe assembly.

   2. Connect the tail exhaust pipe LH to the 2 exhaust pipe supports.

   3. Install the tail exhaust pipe LH to the center exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 nuts.

      Torque:

      43 N*m  { 438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

5. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE BAFFLE SUB-ASSEMBLY (w/ Tail Exhaust Pipe Baffle)

   Note

   Protect the rear bumper assembly using protection material such as a piece of cloth to avoid damage by the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly.

   Tech Tips

   Use the same procedure for the tail exhaust pipe assembly side.

   
   

   1. Install the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly to the tail exhaust pipe LH with the 2 nuts.

      Torque:

      19 N*m  { 194 kgf*cm, 14 ft.*lbf }
