   Standard Length	43.0 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 (TWC: Front Catalyst).
3. Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the exhaust pipe gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold (TWC: Front Catalyst).

   *1	Exhaust Manifold (TWC: Front Catalyst)
   *2	Exhaust Pipe Gasket
   *a	Wooden Block

   NOTE:

   • Be careful with the installation direction of the exhaust pipe gasket.
   • 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 front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the 2 exhaust pipe supports.
5. Install the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the exhaust manifold (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts.

   Torque: 43 N*m (438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf) 

   HINT: 

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

   *2	Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst)
   *3	Exhaust Pipe Gasket
   *a	Space between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.)

6. w/ Exhaust Heat Recirculation System:
   1. Connect the outlet heater water hose B and outlet heater water hose C to the No. 2 outlet water pipe and inlet water pipe and slide the 2 clips to secure them.
      NOTE:

      When installing the outlet heater water hose B and outlet heater water hose C, ensure that the exhaust heat recirculation system is filled with coolant. Otherwise, the engine water pump assembly may be damaged.

4. Connect the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the 4 exhaust pipe supports.
5. Install the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) with the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.

   Torque: 43 N*m (438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf) 

   HINT: 

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