NOTE: When assembling exhaust system do not tighten clamps until all components are aligned and clearances are checked.
1. Assemble catalytic converter (2) to exhaust manifold connection. Use a new flange gasket (1).
2. Tighten the catalytic converter (2) to exhaust manifold fasteners to 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.).
3. Install intermediate pipe and muffler See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Exhaust System/Exhaust Pipe/Service and Repair/Installation.
4. Working from the front of system; align each component to maintain position and proper clearance with underbody parts. For clearance
specifications See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Exhaust System/Specifications.

CAUTION: Band clamps should never be tightened such that the two sides of the clamps are bottomed out against the center hourglass shaped
center block. Once this occurs, the clamp has lost clamping force and must be replaced.
