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 free 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.

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

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

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 }

   CAUTION:
     Do not reuse the gasket.

2. 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 }

   CAUTION:
     Do not reuse the gasket.

3. 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 }

   CAUTION:
     Do not reuse the gasket.
