Attention: When installing exhaust system parts, make sure that the parts fit snugly together. Otherwise, incorrect values will be obtained when measuring exhaust toxicity.
Removing
Raise and support the vehicle.
Moisten all nuts and bolts of the exhaust system with rust remover. Wait; for him to take action.
Unscrew the nuts and disconnect the exhaust pipe from the catalytic converter. Unhook the front rubber suspension.
Remove catalytic converter.
Unhook the rear exhaust pipe from the rubber hangers and remove it.
Separate the end silencer from the middle silencer.
Attention: If the factory exhaust system is still installed, the rear exhaust pipe may not be removed. In this case, unscrew the shock absorber mount and lower the rear axle slightly.
Installation
Before installing, clean the exhaust manifold and front exhaust flange with a steel brush. Be sure to use new gaskets, bolts and nuts. To make it easier to unscrew the nuts and bolts of the exhaust system in the future, it is recommended to lubricate them with high-temperature copper grease.
Install catalytic converter.
Attention: It is not allowed to apply high-temperature paste on the parts of the exhaust system in front of the catalyst. Also, the use of liquid sealant is not allowed, because. otherwise, the catalyst may be contaminated.
Install the exhaust pipe with a new gasket and lightly fasten with bolts/nuts on the accelerator.
Hang the exhaust system on rubber hangers. By moving the parts relative to each other, create a gap between them and the bottom of the body. Make sure that the rubber hangers are evenly loaded and not deformed.
Attention: The distance from the details of the exhaust system to other parts of the car must not be less than 25 Nm.
Tighten bolts/nuts for rear exhaust pipe to 50 Nm.
If removed, install shock absorber mount.
Start the engine and check the exhaust system for tightness.
