EXHAUST PIPE INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE BAFFLE SUB-ASSEMBLY (w/ Tail Exhaust Pipe Baffle)

   1. Set a new tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly to the tail exhaust pipe assembly.

   2. 

      *a	Plastic Hammer
      *b	Protrusion
      *c	Cutout

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

   3. 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

   1. 

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

      Standard Length	43 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.

   2. Temporarily install a new exhaust pipe gasket to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly.

   3. 

      *1	Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly
      *2	Exhaust Pipe Gasket
      *a	Wooden Block

      Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the exhaust pipe gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly.

      Note:

      • Be sure to install the exhaust pipe gasket in the correct direction.

      • Do not reuse the exhaust pipe gasket.

      • Do not damage the exhaust pipe gasket.

      • Do not push in the exhaust pipe gasket by using the exhaust pipe when connecting it.

   4. 

      *1	Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly
      *2	Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *3	Exhaust Pipe Gasket
      *a	Space between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.)

      Install the front exhaust pipe assembly to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly with the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts.

      32 ft.*lbf

      Tip:

      After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly and front exhaust pipe assembly is 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 to the vehicle body with the 4 bolts.

      38 ft.*lbf

4. INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

   1. 

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

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

   3. 

      *1	Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *2	Exhaust Pipe Gasket
      *a	Wooden Block

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

      Note:

      • Be sure to install the exhaust pipe gasket in the correct direction.

      • Do not reuse the exhaust pipe gasket.

      • Do not damage the exhaust pipe gasket.

      • Do not push in the exhaust pipe gasket by using the exhaust pipes when connecting them.

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

   5. 

      *1	Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *2	Tail Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *3	Exhaust Pipe Gasket
      *a	Space between Flanges: 6.5 mm (0.256 in.)

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

      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 and tail exhaust pipe assembly is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
