1. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

1. Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression spring.

   Minimum length:
     40 mm (1.57 in.)
   If the length is less than the minimum replace the compression spring.

1. Install the front pipe to the pipe support.

1. Install a new gasket to the outlet pipe.

   HINT:
     Using a plastic-faced hammer, uniformly strike the gasket so that the gasket and outlet pipe are properly fit.

   NOTICE:
   1. Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.
   2. Do not reuse the gasket.
   3. To ensure a proper seal, do not use the front pipe to force the gasket onto the outlet pipe.

1. Install the front pipe with the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts. Alternately tighten the bolts in several passes.

   Torque:
     43 N*m{ 438 kgf*cm , 32 ft.*lbf }

2. INSTALL HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR

1. Using SST, install the sensor.

   SST
     09224-00010

   Torque:
     44 N*m{ 449 kgf*cm , 32 ft.*lbf }
     40 N*m{ 408 kgf*cm , 30 ft.*lbf } for use with SST

   HINT:
     Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).

1. Attach the 3 wire clamps to the vehicle body.

1. Connect the sensor connector.

3. INSTALL CENTER EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

1. Install the center pipe to the 3 pipe supports.

1. Install a new gasket and the center pipe to the front pipe with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts. Alternately tighten the bolts in several passes.

   Torque:
     48 N*m{ 489 kgf*cm , 35 ft.*lbf }

   NOTICE:
     Do not reuse the gasket.

4. INSTALL TAILPIPE ASSEMBLY

1. Install the tailpipe to the pipe support.

1. Install a new gasket and the tailpipe to the center pipe with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts. Alternately tighten the bolts in several passes.

   Torque:
     48 N*m{ 489 kgf*cm , 35 ft.*lbf }

   NOTICE:
     Do not reuse the gasket.

5. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

6. PERFORM INITIALIZATION

1. Perform initialization (Click here ).

   NOTICE:
     Certain systems need to be initialized after disconnecting and reconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

7. CHECK FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAKS

If gas is leaking, tighten the problem areas to stop the leak. Replace damaged parts as necessary.
