Exhaust Pipe Assembly
Removal & Installation - 1.6L & 1.8L & 2.0L
WARNING!
The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Therefore, never work around, or attempt
to service any part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Special care should be taken when working near
the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises to a high level after a short period of engine oper-
ating time.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the catalytic converter to exhaust manifoldbolts (1).
(Tighten: Exhaust manifold flange bolts to 49 ± 5
N·m)
3. Remove all the support isolators.
4. Remove the exhaust pipe assembly.

Catalytic Converter
Description
The catalytic converter is attached to the exhaust manifold using fasteners and a gasket for sealing.
The catalytic converter plays a major role in the emission control system. The catalytic converter operates as a gas
reactor. Its catalytic function is to speed the heat-producing chemical reaction of components in the exhaust gases in
order to reduce air pollutants.
Operation
Catalyst operation is dependent on its ability to store and release the oxygen needed to complete the emissions-
reducing chemical reactions. As a catalyst deteriorates, its ability to store oxygen is reduced. Since the catalyst’s
ability to store oxygen is somewhat related to proper operation, oxygen storage can be used as an indicator of cat-
alyst performance.
CAUTION:
Unleaded gasoline must be used in order to avoid damaging the catalyst core.

Do not remove the strut rod nut while the strut assembly is installed in the vehicle, or before the coil spring is
compressed with a spring compressor. The spring is held under high pressure and must be compressed before
the strut rod nut can be removed.
CAUTION:
At no time when servicing a vehicle can a sheet metal screw, bolt, or other metal fastener be
installed in the shock tower to replace the original plastic clamp. It may come in contact with the
strut or coil spring.
CAUTION:
The wheel bearing will be damaged if the vehicle is rolled with the axle shaft hub nut loose.
Operation
The front suspension utilizes a MacPherson strut system. This suspension system incorporates a strut assembly that
takes the place of the upper arm and ball joint. The strut performs the function of a shock absorber and is encom-
passed by a coil spring.
