PROCEDURE
INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE BAFFLE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Set 4 new tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assemblies to the tail exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe LH.
| *a | Plastic Hammer |
| *b | Protrusion |
| *c | Cutout |
Align the cutout of each tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly with the protrusion of the tail exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe LH as shown in the illustration.
Using a plastic hammer, uniformly tap each tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly onto the tail exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe LH.
| *a | Tail Exhaust Pipe Baffle Sub-assembly Edge |
| *b | Protrusion |
| *c | Cutout |
Check that the cutout of each tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly is aligned with the protrusion on the bottom of the tail exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe LH as shown in the illustration.
Adjust the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assemblies if necessary.
CONNECT TAIL EXHAUST PIPE LH
Connect the tail exhaust pipe LH to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.
Protect the rear bumper assembly using protection material such as a piece of cloth to avoid damage by the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assemblies.
CONNECT TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Connect the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.
Protect the rear bumper assembly using protection material such as a piece of cloth to avoid damage by the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assemblies.
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
| Standard Length | 40 mm (1.57 in.) |
| Minimum Free Length | 38.5 mm (1.52 in.) |
If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
Temporarily install 2 new gaskets to the front exhaust pipe assembly for tail exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe LH side.
| *1 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly |
| *2 | Gasket |
| *a | Wooden Block |
Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in each gaskets until its surface is flush with the front exhaust pipe assembly.
Be sure to install the gaskets in the correct direction.
Do not reuse the gaskets.
Do not damage the gaskets.
Do not push in the gaskets by using the exhaust pipes when connecting them.
Install 2 new gaskets to the front exhaust pipe assembly for exhaust manifold sub-assembly LH and exhaust manifold sub-assembly RH side.
Connect the front exhaust pipe assembly with 4 new nuts and 4 new bolts.
| 39 N*m | 398 kgf*cm | 29 ft.*lbf |
| *1 | Tail Exhaust Pipe Assembly or Tail Exhaust Pipe LH |
| *2 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly |
| *3 | Gasket |
| *a | Space between Flanges: 6.5 mm (0.256 in.) |
Install the front exhaust pipe assembly to the tail exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe LH with the 4 bolts and 4 compression springs.
| 43 N*m | 438 kgf*cm | 32 ft.*lbf |
After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the front exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe LH is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
CONNECT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing a heated oxygen sensor. (w/ Canister Pump Module)
for Bank 2:
| *a | 4 Turns |
Before installing the heated oxygen sensor, twist the sensor wire counterclockwise 4 turns.
| *a | Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length |
Using SST, connect the heated oxygen sensor to the front exhaust pipe assembly.
| 09224-00012 |
| Specified tightening torque | ||
| 44 N*m | 449 kgf*cm | 32 ft.*lbf |
Be careful not to drop the heated oxygen sensor.
Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.

39 N*m (398 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf)
Engage the heated oxygen sensor grommet to the vehicle body.
Install the bolt.
| 8.0 N*m | 82 kgf*cm | 71 in.*lbf |
for Bank 1:
| *a | 4 Turns |
Before installing the heated oxygen sensor, twist the sensor wire counterclockwise 4 turns.
