Installation - Exhaust System

INSTALLATION - EXHAUST SYSTEM




1. Install and loose assemble the front resonator to the converter pipes.
2. Place the exhaust system on two supports (one on side of muffler, one behind the resonator). Connect the system to the exhaust manifold. Do not tighten the nuts.
3. Install the system's rubber isolators onto the support brackets.
4. Visually inspect the isolators. They should be straight when viewing from front to back of the vehicle. Working from the front of system, align each component to maintain position and proper clearance with underbody parts.
5. Tighten the catalytic converter-to-exhaust manifold nuts to 36 Nm (27ft. lbs.) and torca clamp to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.).
6. Lower the vehicle.
7. Start the engine and inspect for exhaust leaks. Repair exhaust leaks as necessary.
8. Check the exhaust system for contact with the body panels. Make the necessary adjustments, if needed.
