EXHAUST PIPE INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE BAFFLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

    Tech Tips


    • Perform this procedure only when replacement of the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly is necessary.

    • If the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly is removed, replace it with a new one.


    1. B006ZO0C01
      *a Protrusion
      *b Cutout

      Align the cutout of a new tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly with the protrusion of the tail exhaust pipe assembly as shown in the illustration.

    2. Using a plastic hammer, uniformly tap the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly onto the tail exhaust pipe assembly.

    3. Check that the cutout of the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly is aligned with the protrusion on the bottom of the tail exhaust pipe assembly.

  2. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Rear Catalyst)


    1. Install a new gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst).

    2. Connect the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the 2 exhaust pipe supports.

    3. Install the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the exhaust manifold (TWC: Front Catalyst) with 2 new nuts.

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

  3. INSTALL AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR (for Sensor 2)

    1. Install a new gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst).

    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 (TWC: Rear Catalyst) with 2 new bolts.

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

  5. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY


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

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

    3. Install the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the center exhaust pipe assembly with 2 new bolts.

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

  6. INSTALL CENTER FLOOR CROSSMEMBER BRACE


    1. Install the center floor crossmember brace to the vehicle body with the 4 bolts.

      Torque:
      15 N*m  { 153 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

  7. INSTALL FRONT CENTER FLOOR BRACE


    1. Install the front center floor brace to the vehicle body with the 4 bolts.

      Torque:
      15 N*m  { 153 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

  8. INSTALL FRONT FLOOR COVER LH


    1. B006XXYN01

      Install the front floor cover LH with the grommet (B) and 6 clips (C).

      Torque:
      Grommet (B)
      7.5 N*m  { 76 kgf*cm, 66 in.*lbf }

    2. Install the 3 bolts and 4 clips (A).

      Torque:
      Bolt
      7.5 N*m  { 76 kgf*cm, 66 in.*lbf }

  9. INSTALL FRONT FLOOR COVER RH


    1. B006ZCAN01

      Install the front floor cover RH with the grommet (B) and 6 clips (C).

      Torque:
      Grommet (B)
      7.5 N*m  { 76 kgf*cm, 66 in.*lbf }

    2. Install the 3 bolts and 4 clips (A).

      Torque:
      Bolt
      7.5 N*m  { 76 kgf*cm, 66 in.*lbf }

  10. INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK

    If gas is leaking, tighten the areas necessary to stop the leak. Replace damaged parts as necessary.
