EXHAUST PIPE INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE BAFFLE SUB ASSEMBLY


    1. Install the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub assembly to the tail exhaust pipe assembly with the 3 bolts.

      Torque:
      25 N*m  { 255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }

    2. Install the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub assembly to the tail exhaust pipe LH with the 3 bolts.

      Torque:
      25 N*m  { 255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }

  2. CONNECT TAIL EXHAUST PIPE LH


    1. Connect the tail exhaust pipe LH to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.

      Note

      Protect the rear bumper assembly using protection material such as a piece of cloth to avoid damage by the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub assembly.

  3. CONNECT TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY


    1. Connect the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.

      Note

      Protect the rear bumper assembly using protection material such as a piece of cloth to avoid damage by the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub assembly.

  4. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Rear Catalyst)


    1. B00759A

      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.

    2. Temporarily install 2 new exhaust pipe gaskets to the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) for tail exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe LH side.

    3. B00775BC47
      *1 Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst)
      *2 Exhaust Pipe Gasket
      *a Wooden Block

      Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in each exhaust pipe gasket until its surface is flush with the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst).

      Note


      • 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.

    4. Install 2 new exhaust pipe gaskets to the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) for exhaust manifold sub-assembly LH (TWC: Front Catalyst) and exhaust manifold sub-assembly RH (TWC: Front Catalyst) side.

    5. Connect the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) with 4 new nuts and 4 new bolts.

      Torque:
      39 N*m  { 398 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }
    6. B0077UUC02
      *1 Tail Exhaust Pipe Assembly or Tail Exhaust Pipe LH
      *2 Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst)
      *3 Exhaust Pipe Gasket
      *a Space between Flanges: 6.5 mm (0.256 in.)

      Install the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the tail exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe LH with the 4 bolts and 4 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 (TWC: Rear Catalyst) and tail exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe LH is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.

  5. CONNECT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR

    Tech Tips

    Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing a heated oxygen sensor (w/ Canister Pump Module).

    1. B0075Y8C06
      *a 4 Turns

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

    2. for Bank 2:


      1. B0076SDC01
        *a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length

        Using SST, install the heated oxygen sensor to the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst).

        SST
        09224-00010
        Torque:
        Specified tightening torque
        44 N*m  { 449 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

        Note

        Be careful not to drop the heated oxygen sensor.

        Tech Tips


        • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.
