EXHAUST PIPE INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY


    1. B008J8V

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression spring.

      Minimum length
      41.5 mm (1.63 in.)

      If the length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.

    2. Using a wire brush, remove any foreign matter from the gasket installation surface.

    3. B008I9LC36
      *1 Exhaust Manifold
      *2 Gasket
      *a Wooden Block

      Using a plastic-faced 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 so that it faces the correct direction.

      • Do not reuse the gasket.

      • Do not damage the gasket.

      • When connecting the front exhaust pipe assembly, do not push in the gasket with the front exhaust pipe assembly.

    4. B008H78C02
      *1 Exhaust Manifold
      *2 Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *3 Gasket
      *a Space between flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.)

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

      Torque:
      43 N*m  { 438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the exhaust manifold and front exhaust pipe assembly is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.

  2. INSTALL CENTER EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY


    1. Install a new gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly.

    2. Connect the 3 exhaust pipe supports to install the center exhaust pipe assembly.

    3. Install the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      43 N*m  { 438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

  3. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY


    1. B008J8V

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression spring.

      Minimum length
      38.5 mm (1.52 in.)

      If the length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.

    2. Using a wire brush, remove any foreign matter from the gasket installation surface.

    3. B008I9LC36
      *1 Center Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *2 Gasket
      *a Wooden Block

      Using a plastic-faced hammer and wooden block, tap in a new gasket until its surface is flush with the center exhaust pipe assembly.

      Note


      • Be sure to install the gasket so that it faces the correct direction.

      • Do not reuse the gasket.

      • Do not damage the gasket.

      • When connecting the tail exhaust pipe assembly, do not push in the gasket with the tail exhaust pipe assembly.

    4. Connect the 2 exhaust pipe supports to install the tail exhaust pipe assembly.

    5. B008H78C02
      *1 Center Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *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 compression springs and 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      43 N*m  { 438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the center exhaust pipe assembly and tail exhaust pipe assembly is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.

  4. CONNECT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR


    1. First, twist the heated oxygen sensor approximately 4 times. Then temporarily install it to the center exhaust pipe assembly.

    2. B008JMKC01
      *a Fulcrum Length

      Using SST, install the heated oxygen sensor to the center exhaust pipe sub-assembly.

      SST
      09224-00011
      Torque
      Specified tightening torque
      44 N*m (449 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf)

      Note

      Replace with a new part if it is dropped or if it receives a strong impact.

      Tech Tips


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

      • When using SST (fulcrum length of 30 mm (1.18 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.09 in.)): 37.7 N*m (384 kgf*cm, 28 ft.*lbf)

    3. Pass the heated oxygen sensor connector through the floor panel and install the grommet.

    4. Attach the harness clamp.

  5. INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK

    If gas is leaking, tighten the areas necessary to stop the leak. Replace damaged parts as necessary.

    Tech Tips

    If an exhaust gas leak has been repaired, perform an inspection following the repair.
