  Warning
  • When the engine and exhaust system are hot, they can badly burn. Turn off the engine and wait until they are cool before removing the exhaust system.

  Caution
  • In installing WU-TWC, WU-TWC protector, WU-TWC hanger bracket and WU-TWC bracket, improper fastening or seating can happen. In order to avoid faulty installation, always refer to “Warm Up Three Way Catalytic Converter (WU-TWC) Installation Note” during the work. (See Warm Up Three Way Catalytic Converter (WU-TWC) (LH) Installation Note.)(See Warm Up Three Way Catalytic Converter (WU-TWC) (RH) Installation Note.)

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZI-3.7].)

2. Remove the engine cover. (See ENGINE COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZI-3.7].)

3. Remove in the order indicated in the table.

4. Remove the exhaust system insulator. (See Exhaust System Insulator Removal/Installation Note.)

5. Install in the reverse order of removal.
