WARNING:

• Perform the procedure with the exhaust system fully cooled down because the system will be hot just after the engine is turned off.

• Be careful not to cut your hand on the insulator edges.

CAUTION:

• Use Genuine NISSAN exhaust system parts or equivalent, which are specifically designed for heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and shape.

REMOVAL

Remove exhaust system components using a power tool.

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse exhaust gaskets.

• Do not reuse ring gaskets.

• Do not reuse nuts.

• Do not allow anti-corrosive wax to contact exhaust system components.

• Ensure flexible exhaust tube is free from deformation.

• If any mounting insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the mounting insulator, clean and inspect it.

• When installing the insulator, avoid large gaps or interference between the insulator and each exhaust pipe.

• Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid exhaust gas leaks.

• Temporarily tighten the exhaust manifold side nuts and the Nissan Murano vehicle side bolts. Check each part for any interference, and then tighten the nuts and bolts to specification.

• When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or excessive extension in up/down and right/left directions.

• Tighten the bolts without causing interference with the flange.
