Install a new gasket to the rear end of the front exhaust pipe.

- NOTICE:
- Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.
- Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.
- Do not reuse the gasket.
- Do not reuse the gasket.
- To ensure a proper seal, do not use the tail exhaust pipe to force the gasket onto the front exhaust pipe.
- HINT:
- Using a plastic hammer, uniformly strike the gasket so that the gasket and front exhaust pipe are properly fit.
- To ensure a proper seal, do not use the tail exhaust pipe to force the gasket onto the front exhaust pipe.
Install 3 new gaskets and front exhaust pipe assembly.
- CAUTION:
- Do not reuse the gaskets.
Install the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs.

- Torque:
- 43 N*m{ 438 kgf*cm , 32 ft.*lbf }
