Tighten the catalytic converter and the center muffler with specified torque.

Tightening torque :

39.2~58.8 N.m (4.0 ~ 6.0 kgf.m, 28.9~43.4 lb-ft)

(4)

Compare the gap between the tail pipe(or tail trim) and the rear bumper with the record measured before removing the center muffler assembly.

If the tail pipe is installed differently compared to the initial position, the bumper might be damaged by the pipe heat or interfere between the tail pipe and the rear bumper.
