PROCEDURE
INSTALL HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (for Bank 2)
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Install a new exhaust pipe gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly.
Install the front exhaust pipe assembly to the exhaust manifold sub-assembly LH (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 2 nuts.
INSTALL NO. 1 EXHAUST PIPE SUPPORT BRACKET (for Lower Side)
Install the No. 1 exhaust pipe support bracket with the 2 bolts.
INSTALL FRONT NO. 3 EXHAUST PIPE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Install 2 new exhaust pipe gaskets to the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly.
Install the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.
INSTALL EXHAUST FORKED PIPE SUB-ASSEMBLY (TWC: Rear Catalyst)
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the 2 compression springs.
| Standard Length | 43.0 mm (1.69 in.) |
| Minimum Free Length | 41.5 mm (1.63 in.) |
If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
Temporarily install a new exhaust pipe gasket to the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly.
| *1 | Front No. 3 Exhaust Pipe Sub-assembly |
| *2 | Exhaust Pipe Gasket |
| *a | Wooden Block |
Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the gasket until its surface is flush with the front No. 3 exhaust pipe 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 pipes when connecting them.
Connect the exhaust forked pipe sub-assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.
Install the exhaust forked pipe sub-assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.
Tech Tips
After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the exhaust forked pipe sub-assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) and front No. 3 exhaust pipe sub-assembly is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
| *1 | Exhaust Forked Pipe Sub-assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) |
| *2 | Front No. 3 Exhaust Pipe Sub-assembly |
| *3 | Exhaust Pipe Gasket |
| *a | Space between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.) |
INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
Temporarily install a new exhaust pipe gasket to the exhaust forked pipe sub-assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst).
Connect the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.
Install the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the exhaust forked pipe sub-assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) with the 2 bolts.
