2. On petrol models, the middle and rear mufflers are installed at the factory as a single unit. If necessary, after removing the muffler assembly, they can be replaced individually by cutting the pipe and connecting its parts with a clamp, as described below.
3. Place of incision (2 in the illustration) marked on the outer surface of the pipe. Markers (1 and 3) indicate the installation locations of the double clamp (4).
17.3. Cutting mark (2) and clamp installation marks (1 and 3) (4)
4. The ends of the clamp bolts must not be lower than the bottom point of the pipe. The rear muffler should be positioned so that the distances (and in the illustrations) between the pipe and the bumper were equal to each other, and the distance (b in illustration 17.4b) was equal for both pipes.

5. To position the exhaust pipe without tension, loosen the double clamp nuts (1 in illustration 17.5a) and correctly set the intermediate relative to the mark at a distance (a) = 5 mm and tighten the nuts by hand. Then push the exhaust pipe forward so that the distance (and in illustration 17.5b) between the suspension/body and the sub-suspension/middle muffler was 7-9 mm. Then tighten the double clamp nuts with a force of 23 Nm.

10. Remove the driveshaft (see Chapter 8), Remove both upper and then both lower nuts securing the exhaust pipe to the catalytic converter (see illustration).
17.10. Nuts for fastening the exhaust pipe to the catalytic converter
11. Remove the bolts (see illustration) and remove the exhaust pipe bracket.
17.11. Suspension fastening
12. Give the nuts (arrows on the illustration) and remove the front cross member of the central tunnel. Loosen the double clamp (1), slide it back and remove the exhaust pipe, making sure that its flexible section is not bent more than 10°.

13. Installation is carried out in reverse order. Use new gaskets and self-locking nuts. Before tightening the nuts, apply high-temperature grease G052 112AZ to the studs. Finally, set the exhaust system to be voltage-free (see paragraphs 4-5).
