Check the Parts Before Installation

Before starting installation, check that all parts have been supplied and that the exhaust system configuration matches the vehicle's existing connections.

Installation

1. Removal: The nuts at the exhaust manifold may be difficult to loosen due to corrosion. Use penetrating oil and suitable tools to avoid damaging the studs and connections.

2. Check the sealing surface: Clean the exhaust manifold mating surface and check that it is flat and free from damage. If the connection does not seal properly, do not overtighten the nuts to compensate. This may damage the cast-iron exhaust manifold or the studs.

3. Fit the exhaust system: Assemble the pipes and mufflers without fully tightening the clamps. Exhaust assembly paste can be used at the joints.

4. Check the mounting points: The exhaust system has two mounting points:

   • At the inlet pipe of the centre muffler

   • At the outlet pipe of the rear muffler

5. Align and tighten: Position all components so that the exhaust system hangs freely without touching the bodywork or other components. Then tighten the clamps and mountings.

6. Check for leaks: Start the engine and check that all joints and connections are leak-free before driving the vehicle.
