Installation [11/2016 - ]: Procedure
- INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Front Catalyst)
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
Minimum 41.5 mm (1.63 in.) If the free length is less than minimum, replace the compression spring.
- Temporarily install a new gasket to the exhaust manifold.
- Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold.
*1 Exhaust Manifold *2 Gasket *a 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.
- Install the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) to the exhaust manifold 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 and front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
*1 Exhaust Manifold *2 Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) *3 Gasket *a Space between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.)
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
- INSTALL CENTER EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Rear Catalyst)
- Install a new gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst).
- Connect the center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the exhaust pipe support.
- Install the center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 2 bolts.
Torque: 43 N*m (438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf)
- INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
Minimum 41.5 mm (1.63 in.) If the free length is less than minimum, replace the compression spring.
- Temporarily install a new gasket to the center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst).
- Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the gasket until its surface is flush with the center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst).
*1 Center Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) *2 Gasket *a 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 tail exhaust pipe assembly to the 4 exhaust pipe supports.
- Install the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the center 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 center exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) and tail exhaust pipe assembly is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
*1 Center Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) *2 Tail Exhaust Pipe Assembly *3 Gasket *a Space between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.)
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
- INSTALL HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1
- INSTALL FRONT FLOOR COVER LH
See step 8
- INSTALL NO. 2 ENGINE UNDER COVER
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 80
- INSTALL NO. 1 ENGINE UNDER COVER
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 81
- INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK
If gas is leaking, tighten the areas necessary to stop the leak. Replace damaged parts as necessary.
- Perform "Inspection After Repair" after repairing and replacing an exhaust gas leak.
