EXHAUST PIPE INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL TAILPIPE LH


    1. Install the tailpipe LH to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.

  2. INSTALL TAILPIPE RH


    1. Install the tailpipe RH to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.

  3. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY


    1. w/ Towing Package:

      Tech Tips

      Only perform this procedure when replacement of the front No. 1 exhaust pipe protector is necessary.


      1. Install the front No. 1 exhaust pipe protector and exhaust pipe protector stay with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.

        Torque:
        11 N*m  { 107 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

      2. Install the clamp with the bolt.

        Torque:
        11 N*m  { 107 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }
    2. A000OYX

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

      Minimum free length
      38.5 mm (1.52 in.)

      Tech Tips

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

    3. Install 2 new gaskets to the front exhaust pipe assembly.

      *1 Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *2 Gasket
      *3 Wooden Block

      Using a plastic-faced hammer and wooden block, tap in a new gasket until its surface is flush with the front 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 pipe when connecting it.

    5. Install 2 new gaskets and the front exhaust pipe with 4 new nuts, the 8 bolts, and the 4 compression springs.

      Torque:
      for exhaust manifold side
      39 N*m  { 398 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }
      for tailpipe side
      43 N*m  { 438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

  4. CONNECT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (for Bank 1 Sensor 2)


    1. A000QUK

      Before installing the heated oxygen sensor, twist the sensor wire counterclockwise 4 turns.

    2. A000SENE02

      *1 Fulcrum Length

      Using SST, connect the heated oxygen sensor to the front exhaust pipe assembly.

      SST
      09224-00010
      Torque:
      without SST
      44 N*m  { 449 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }
      with SST
      40 N*m  { 408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips


      • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.8 in.). When using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length that is not 300 mm (11.8 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification Click here.

      • Make sure SST and the wrench are connected in a straight line.

    3. After installing the sensor, check that the sensor wire is not twisted.

      If the sensor wire is twisted, reinstall the sensor.

    4. Connect the grommet of the heated oxygen sensor.

  5. INSTALL HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (for Bank 2 Sensor 2)


    1. A000RPFE04
      Text in Illustration
      *1 Fulcrum Length

      Using SST, install the heated oxygen sensor.

      SST
      09224-00010
      Torque:
      without SST
      44 N*m  { 449 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }
      with SST
      40 N*m  { 408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips


      • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.8 in.). When using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length that is not 300 mm (11.8 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification Click here.

      • Make sure SST and the wrench are connected in a straight line.

    2. Connect the heated oxygen sensor connector.

  6. INSTALL FRONT CENTER FLOOR BRACE


    1. Install the front center floor brace and tighten the 2 clips.

    2. Install the 6 bolts and 2 nuts.

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

  7. INSTALL NO. 2 REAR FLOOR BOARD SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A000NQJE01

      Push in the 2 clips labeled A in the illustration in the upward direction of the vehicle and install the No. 2 rear floor board sub-assembly.

    2. Tighten the 4 clips labeled B in the illustration.

    3. Install the 5 clips labeled C in the illustration.

  8. INSTALL NO. 1 REAR FLOOR BOARD SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A000Q7FE01

      Push in the 2 clips labeled A in the illustration in the upward direction of the vehicle and install the No. 1 rear floor board sub-assembly.

    2. Tighten the 4 clips labeled B in the illustration.

    3. Install the 5 clips labeled C in the illustration.

  9. INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK

    Tech Tips

    If an exhaust gas leak has been repaired, perform an inspection following the repair Click here.

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