Removal and Installation: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse gaskets.
If any mounting insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the mounting insulators, clean and inspect them.
Temporarily tighten the V-band clamp on the exhaust downpipe and the nuts on the vehicle side. Check each part for interference with other components, and then tighten the nuts and clamps to specification.
