Exhaust System
- With exhaust system fully cold, raise and support car for ac-
cess to exhaust system.
WARNING -
Do not worlc under a lifted car unless it is solidly supported on
jack stands designed for that purpose. Never work under a
car that is supported solely by a
jack.
- Disconnect oxygen sensor connector(s).
4 Loosen and remove bolts holding front exhaust pipes to ex-
haust manifolds (arrows). Right side of
V8 model shown.
- Support exhaust system
- Where applicable, disconnect exhaust support bracket as-
sembly from transmission.
< Remove hangers by prying off bracket (arrows).
- Lower exhaust system as a single unit to ground.
NOTE-
If the catalytic converterlfront exhaust pipe assembly is to be
replaced, transfer the oxygen sensors to the new
pipe(s).
Tightening torque
Oxygen sensor
55 Nm (41 ft-lb)
- installation is reverse of removal.
* Make sure there is at least 20 mm (314 in.) clearance be-
tween exhaust system and car body at every point.
Loosely install
ail exhaust system mounting hardware and
hangers before tightening fasteners to their final torque.
Coat manifold studs with copper paste before installing
nuts.
NOTE-
Where applicable, tighten front pipe with semi-flexible com-
pensator last when installing front pipe to
manifolds.
Tightening torques
Exhaust manifolds
to cylinder head 22 Nm (1 7 It-lb)
Front exhaust pipe to manifolds 30 Nm (22 ft-lb)
To prevent exhaust system rattles and vibration, the system
should be slightly preloaded by pushing the rear clamping
brackets forward about 7 mm (114 in).

Exhaust manifold removal procedures are organized accord-
ing to engine code. If necessary, see
100 Engine-General
for engine code and application information.
Exhaust manifolds, removing and installing
(M52 engine)
4 Exhaust manifolds for the M52 engine.
Always use new retaining nuts and gaskets when removing
and installing the exhaust manifolds.
- With exhaust system cold, raise and support car for access
to exhaust system.
WARNING -
Do not work under a lined car unless it is solidly supported on
jack stands designed for that purpose. Never work under a
car that is supported solely by a jack.
- Disconnect secondary air check valve and pipe from exhaust
manifold.
- Unbolt front exhaust pipe@) from exhaust rnanifold(s)
- Remove exhaust support bracket from transmission.
- Loosen and remove nuts from exhaust manifolds and remove
manifolds. Discard nuts and gaskets.
NOTE-
On cars with oxygen sensors mounted in the exhaust mani-
folds, use care when removing manifolds.
To be safe, remove
the sensors from the manifolds before removing manifolds.
- Installation is reverse of removal
Coat exhaust manifold mounting studs with copper paste
before installing new nuts.
Install manifold gaskets with arched side facing manifolds.
