Exhaust Pipe -- Installation |
1. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY |
Install a new gasket and the front exhaust pipe to the exhaust manifold RH with 2 new nuts.
- Torque:
- 54 N*m{554 kgf*cm, 40 ft.*lbf}
Connect the heated oxygen sensor connector.
2. INSTALL HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (for Bank 2 Sensor 2) |
Temporarily install the sensor to the exhaust pipe by hand.
![]() |
Using SST, tighten the sensor.
- SST
- 09224-00010
- Torque:
- without SST:
- 44 N*m{449 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf}
- with SST:
- 40 N*m{408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf}
- HINT:
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.8 in.). If using a torque wrench with a length that is not 30 cm (11.8 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification (Click here).
- Make sure SST and the wrench are connected in a straight line.

3. INSTALL FRONT NO. 2 EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY |
Install a new gasket and the front No. 2 exhaust pipe to the exhaust manifold LH with 2 new nuts.
- Torque:
- 54 N*m{554 kgf*cm, 40 ft.*lbf}
Connect the heated oxygen sensor connector.
- HINT:
- Hook the wire harness to the bracket.

4. INSTALL CENTER EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY |
Check the free length.
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression spring.
- Minimum free length:
- 43 mm (1.693 in.)
![]() |
Connect the center exhaust pipe to the 3 exhaust pipe supports.
Install 2 new gaskets to the front exhaust pipe and front No. 2 exhaust pipe.
Install the center exhaust pipe with the 4 bolts and 2 compression springs.
- Torque:
- for center exhaust pipe and front exhaust pipe:
- 43 N*m{438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf}
- for center exhaust pipe and front No. 2 exhaust pipe:
- 48 N*m{489 kgf*cm, 35 ft.*lbf}
5. INSTALL TAILPIPE ASSEMBLY |
Install the tailpipe to the 2 exhaust pipe supports.
Set a new gasket to the center exhaust pipe.
Connect the tailpipe to the center pipe with a new clamp.
- Torque:
- 32 N*m{326 kgf*cm, 24 ft.*lbf}
- HINT:
- Install the clamp within the angle range shown in the illustration.

6. INSTALL HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (for Bank 1 Sensor 2) |
Temporarily install the sensor to the exhaust pipe by hand.
![]() |
Using SST, tighten the sensor.
- SST
- 09224-00010
- Torque:
- without SST:
- 44 N*m{449 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf}
- with SST:
- 40 N*m{408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf}
- HINT:
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.8 in.). If using a torque wrench with a length that is not 30 cm (11.8 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification (Click here).
- Make sure SST and the wrench are connected in a straight line.

7. INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK |
- If gas is leaking, tighten the areas necessary to stop the leak. Replace damaged parts as necessary.
