• Tighten main muffler mounting bracket bolts in numerical order as

shown in the figure.

CAUTION:

• Always replace exhaust tube gaskets with new ones when reassembling.
• If heat insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the heat

insulator, remove them.

• When installing heat insulator avoid large gaps or interference between heat insulator and each

exhaust pipe.

• Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid

gases leakage.

• Temporarily tighten mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and mounting bolts on the vehicle

side. Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.

• When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/left

directions.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

• Make sure clearance between tail tube and bumper is even.
• With engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.
• Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue

stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.
