Installation [10/2017 - 12/2021]: Procedure
- INSTALL HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1
- INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst)
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
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.
- Temporarily install a new exhaust pipe gasket to the exhaust manifold.
- Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the exhaust pipe gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold.
*1 Exhaust Manifold *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.
- Connect the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) to the 2 exhaust pipe supports.
- Install the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear 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 and Rear Catalyst) is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
*1 Exhaust Manifold *2 Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) *3 Exhaust Pipe Gasket *a Space between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.) - Engage the wire harness clamp.
- Connect the heated oxygen sensor connector.
- 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.
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.
- Temporarily install a new exhaust pipe gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst).
- Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the exhaust pipe gasket until its surface is flush with the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst).
*1 Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Front and Rear 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.
- Connect the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the 4 exhaust pipe supports.
- Install the tail exhaust pipe assembly to the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Front and 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: Front and Rear Catalyst) is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
*1 Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Front and Rear Catalyst) *2 Tail Exhaust Pipe Assembly *3 Exhaust Pipe Gasket *a Space between Flanges: 6.5 mm (0.256 in.)
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.
- INSTALL FRONT FLOOR COVER LH (w/ Cover)
See step [02/2017 - 12/2017] See step [12/2017 - ]
- INSTALL FRONT FLOOR COVER RH (w/ Cover)
HINT:
Use the same procedure as for the LH side.
- INSTALL FRONT FLOOR CENTER BRACE
See step [02/2017 - 12/2017] See step [12/2017 - ]
- INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK
If gas is leaking, tighten the areas necessary to stop the leak. Replace damaged parts as necessary.
HINT:
Perform "Inspection After Repairs" after repairing or replacing the exhaust system.
