EXHAUST PIPE INSTALLATION

INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

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

Standard 42.0 mm (1.65 in.)

Minimum 40.5 mm (1.60 in.)

Tech Tips

If the length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
Fully insert a new gasket to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly.

*3	Gasket

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

Note

Be sure to install the gasket in the correct direction.
Do not reuse the gasket.
Do not damage the gasket.
Do not push in the gasket by using the exhaust pipe when connecting it.

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

Install the front exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts.

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

Tech Tips

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

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 with the 2 nuts.

INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

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

Standard 40.0 mm (1.57 in.)

Minimum 38.5 mm (1.52 in.)

Tech Tips

If the length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
Fully insert a new gasket to the center exhaust pipe assembly.

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

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

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

Tech Tips

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

2. Connect the heated oxygen sensor connector.
INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK

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