PROCEDURE

  1. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE BAFFLE SUB-ASSEMBLY

    1. A287352C03

      *a

      Plastic Hammer

      *b

      Protruding part

      *c

      Concave

      Align the concave area of new tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly with the protruding part of the tail exhaust pipe assembly as shown in the illustration.

    2. Using a plastic hammer, uniformly tap the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly onto the tail exhaust pipe assembly.

  2. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst)

    1. A128853

      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

      *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.

      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 it.

    3. Connect the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) to the 2 exhaust pipe supports.

      *1

      Exhaust Manifold

      *2

      Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst)

      *3

      Gasket

      *a

      Space between flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.)

      Install the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.

      43 N*m

      438 kgf*cm

      32 ft.*lbf

      Tip:

      After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the exhaust manifold and front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) are consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.

  3. INSTALL FRONT CENTER FLOOR BRACE SUB-ASSEMBLY

    1. Install the front center floor brace sub-assembly with the 4 bolts.

      51 N*m

      520 kgf*cm

      38 ft.*lbf

  4. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

    1. A128853

      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.

    2. A181728C47

      *1

      Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst)

      *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 (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst).

      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 it.

    3. 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 (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst)

      *2

      Tail Exhaust Pipe Assembly

      *3

      Gasket

      *a

      Space between flanges: 6.5 mm (0.256 in.)

      Install the tail exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.

      43 N*m

      438 kgf*cm

      32 ft.*lbf

      Tip:

      After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) and tail exhaust pipe assembly are consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
