Installation [11/2015 - 06/2017]: Procedure
- INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY NOTE:
When installing the water hose, ensure that the exhaust heat recirculation system is filled with coolant. Otherwise, the engine water pump assembly may be damaged.
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
Minimum 41.5 mm (1.64 in.) HINT:
If the free length is less than minimum, replace the compression spring.
- Fully insert a new gasket to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly.
- Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the new gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*1 Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly *2 Gasket *3 Wooden Block NOTE:- Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.
- Do not reuse the gasket.
- Do not damage the gasket.
- Do not push in the gasket by using the exhaust pipe when connecting it.
- Connect the front exhaust pipe assembly to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.
- Install the front exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.
Torque: 43 N*m (438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf)
HINT:
After installation, check that the gaps between the flanges of the exhaust manifold and front exhaust pipe assembly are consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.

- Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
- INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
Minimum 38.5 mm (1.52 in.) HINT:
If the free length is less than minimum, replace the compression spring.
- Fully insert a new gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly.
- Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the new gasket until its surface is flush with the front exhaust pipe assembly.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
