Removal Procedure
Caution: Ensure that the vehicle is properly supported and squarely positioned. To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a
hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle on the opposite end from which the components are being removed.
1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Obtain a piece of (non-stretchable) string 135 mm (5.3 in) long. Starting from the muffler, place the string along the pipe. Mark the end of the
string on the pipe.
Notice: Always use a chain cutter to cut the stainless steel pipe. A torch leaves a rough edge and may warp the pipe.
3. Using a SA9168NE (or equivalent) cut the pipe on the mark.
