To fit

Important
The flexible section of the intermediate pipe is highly sensitive to bending and must not be angled more than 5° as this could lead to permanent deformation.

Clean the joints.

Offer up the exhaust pipe as shown in the illustration and tighten the joints using new clamps.

Tightening torque: 30 Nm (22.5 lbf ft)

Important
To avoid leakage, joints should be tightened 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.

Lower the car to the floor.
