Attention! To avoid burns, work should be carried out after the parts of the exhaust system have cooled to a safe temperature.
2. Disconnect the flange of the main muffler from the additional (see «Main muffler - replacement»).
3. We bend three edges of the locking plate.
4. Using a 13 mm socket wrench, unscrew the three nuts securing the exhaust pipe to the catalytic manifold.
5. Remove the lock plate.
6. We remove the exhaust pipe of the additional muffler from the flange of the catalytic manifold and remove the sealing gasket.
7. Disconnect the two suspension pads from the brackets of the additional muffler (see «Suspension of the exhaust system - replacing pillows») and remove the additional muffler.
Installation
We install the additional muffler in the reverse order, replacing the gasket with a new one. If necessary, we replace damaged or loose silencer suspension pads, as well as faulty clamp brackets and threaded connections (see «Suspension of the exhaust system - replacing pillows»).
