         *a	Cutout Section
         *b	Protrusion
         *c	Stopper

         Align the cutout section of the tail pipe baffle with the protrusion of the exhaust pipe assembly tail as shown in the illustration.

      2. Press in the tail pipe baffle until its stopper contacts that of the tail exhaust pipe assembly.

      3. Install the 2 bolts and the 2 tail pipe baffles.

         Torque:

         7.5 N*m  { 76 kgf*cm, 66 in.*lbf }

   2. without knee airbag:
