3. Install in the reverse order of removal.

1 | Main silencer
2 | Crossmember
3 | Member
4 | Catalytic converter
5 | Seal ring (See Seal Ring Removal Note.) (See Seal Ring Installation Note.)
6 | HO2S (See HO2S Removal Note)
7 | Exhaust manifold insulator (See Exhaust Manifold Insulator, Exhaust Manifold Installation Note)
8 | Exhaust manifold (See Exhaust Manifold Insulator, Exhaust Manifold Installation Note)

## Seal Ring Removal Note

1. Remove the seal ring using a flathead screwdriver being careful not to damage the pipe.

## HO2S Removal Note

1. Remove the HO2S using the SST.

## Exhaust Manifold Insulator, Exhaust Manifold Installation Note

  Note

  • When removing the exhaust manifold, move the exhaust manifold insulator slightly out of the way, loosen the nuts, then remove the exhaust manifold together with the insulator. Refer to the following procedure.

1. Remove the following parts for easier access.

  • Air cleaner cover
  • Air cleaner case

2. Remove the joint shaft. (See JOINT SHAFT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

## Seal Ring Installation Note

  Caution

  • If installation is performed without using the SST, the seal ring will be damaged and deformed, resulting in an incorrect installation. Always use the SST to install the seal ring.

1. Temporarily install the seal ring to the pipe so that the seal ring is even with the flange.

2. Install the SST to the seal ring so that the SST is even with the flange.

3. Press in the seal ring by tapping the SST using a plastic hammer until the seal ring contacts the flange.
