PROCEDURE
INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE BAFFLE SUB-ASSEMBLY (w/ Tail Exhaust Pipe Baffle)
| *a | Plastic Hammer |
| *b | Protrusion |
| *c | 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.
Using a plastic hammer, uniformly tap the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly onto the tail exhaust pipe assembly.
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
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 minimum, replace the compression spring.
| *1 | 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 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 2 exhaust pipe supports.
Install a new gasket to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly.
| *1 | 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 and 2 compression springs with the 2 bolts.
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.
INSTALL AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR
INSTALL FRONT CENTER FLOOR BRACE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Install the front center floor brace sub-assembly with the 4 bolts.
INSTALL FRONT NO. 3 ENGINE UNDER COVER
Install the front No. 3 engine under cover with the 4 clips.
INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
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 minimum, replace the compression spring.
| *1 | Front Exhaust Pipe 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 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.
Connect the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.
Note
Wrap the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly with a piece of cloth to keep it from damaging the rear bumper.
| *1 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly |
| *2 | Tail Exhaust Pipe Assembly |
| *3 | Gasket |
| *a | Space Between Flanges: 6.5 mm (0.256 in.) |
Install the tail exhaust pipe assembly and 2 compression springs with the 2 bolts.
Tech Tips
After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the front exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe assembly is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
