  1. Clean the joints.
  2. Position the new silencer and hook on the new rubber mountings. If necessary, change the rubber bushes.
  3. Tighten the joints using new clamps.
    1. Tightening torque:  30 Nm (22.5 lbf ft)
    IMPORTANT: To avoid leakage, tighten the joints with new clamps.

    Make sure that there is adequate clearance to parts next to the exhaust system.

    Also make sure that the tailpipe is positioned symmetrically in the opening cut out for it in the rear bumper.

  4. Bend the metal tabs for the rubber mountings back into place and lower the car to the floor.
