How to install the exhaust pipe on 2009 Scion xB?

Question

Accepted Answer

The installation process begins with using vernier calipers to measure compression spring length according to specifications while replacing the spring when the measurement falls short of 41.5 mm (1.634 in.). Place a new exhaust pipe gasket on the exhaust manifold converter then secure the front exhaust pipe using 2 compression springs combined with 2 bolts fastened to 43 Nm (438 kgf-cm, 32 ft-lbf). Apply the front exhaust pipe gasket and then mount the center exhaust pipe assembly using two bolts hooked to No. 4 exhaust pipe supports and torqued to 43 Nm (438 kgf-cm, 32 ft-lbf). Use four bolts to install the front floor center brace while torquing them to 51 Nm (520 kgf-cm, 38 ft-lbf). Check the length of the compression spring used in the No. 2 center exhaust pipe assembly which must be at least 38.5 mm (1.516 in.) long before replacing it if needed. Use a plastic hammer together with a wooden block to install a fresh exhaust pipe gasket until it sits completely against the exhaust manifold and center exhaust pipe assembly without creating any wrong installation direction and preventing gasket reuse or damage. Fix the No. 2 center exhaust pipe assembly to the vehicle by installing it with 2 compression springs followed by 2 bolts tightened to 43 Nm (438 kgf-cm, 32 ft-lbf). To install a new tail pipe baffle correctly position its keyway along the exhaust pipe tail protrusion and strike it evenly with a plastic hammer. Fasten the tail exhaust pipe assembly by installing it with 2 bolts and the No. 4 exhaust pipe support. Add an exhaust pipe gasket to the No. 2 exhaust pipe assembly before attachment. The final step includes installing the heated oxygen sensor followed by exhaust gas leak inspection and installation of the No. 1 engine under cover.
