Installation
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following:
Attention:
- Always replace exhaust pipe gaskets with new ones when reassembling.
- If the heat shield is severely deformed, repair or replace. If deposits, such as dirt, have accumulated on the heat shield, remove them.
- When installing the heat shield, do not leave large gaps between the shield and the exhaust pipe sections.
- Remove deposits from the sealing surfaces of the joints. Connect them securely to prevent exhaust leakage.
- If the rubber pads are difficult to install, soak them in a mild detergent.
- When installing the rubber cushions, do not twist or stretch them up/down or right/left.
- Hand tighten fasteners, nuts and bolts. Check that components do not interfere with each other, then tighten to the specified torque.
Post-installation check
- Make sure the gap between the rear exhaust pipe and the rear bumper is uniform.
- Start the engine and check for exhaust leaks at the exhaust pipe joints and any extraneous noise.
- After installation, make sure there is no excessive mechanical stress on the mounting brackets and rubber cushions. If these components are not installed correctly, excessive noise or vibration may be transmitted to the body.
