EXHAUST PIPE INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

   
   

   1. 

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

      Minimum

      41.5 mm (1.63 in.)

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

   2. 

      *1	No. 2 Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly
      *2	Gasket
      *a	Wooden Block

      Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in a new gasket until its surface is flush with the No. 2 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.

   3. Connect the front exhaust pipe assembly to the 2 exhaust pipe supports.

   4. 

      *1	No. 2 Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly
      *2	Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *3	Gasket
      *a	Space between flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.)

      Install the front 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 No. 2 exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly and front exhaust pipe assembly are consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.

3. INSTALL CENTER EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

   
   

   1. 

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

      Minimum

      38.5 mm (1.52 in.)

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

   2. 

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

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

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

   4. 

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

      Install 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 front exhaust pipe assembly and center exhaust pipe assembly are consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.

4. INSTALL FRONT CENTER FLOOR BRACE SUB-ASSEMBLY

   
   

   1. Install the front center floor brace with the 4 bolts.

      Torque:

      51 N*m  { 520 kgf*cm, 38 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 exhaust pipe support.

   3. Install the tail exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:

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