Checking Exhaust System EBS008QT
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment,
leaks, cracks, damage or deterioration. EX

Removal and Installation EBS008QU
CAUTION:
● Be sure to use genuine NISSAN exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed F
for heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and shape.
● Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled down because the system will be hot
just after the engine stops.
G
● Be careful not to cut your hand on the insulator edges.

EXHAUST SYSTEM (QR25DE)
● If the insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the insulator,
remove them. A
● 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 gas leak- EX
age.
● Temporarily tighten the exhaust manifold side mounting nuts and the vehicle side mounting bolts. Check
each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque. C
● When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/left direc-
tions.
● Insert the seal bearing in the direction as shown. Tighten the D
mounting bolt with the big end of the spring facing the flange.
CAUTION:
Tighten the mounting bolt without causing interference with E
the flange.

Inspection After Installation EBS008QV
● With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and abnormal noise. H
● Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting insulators are installed properly and free from
undue stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.

EXHAUST SYSTEM (VQ35DE)
● If the insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the insu-
lator, remove them.
● 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
gas leakage.
● Temporarily tighten mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and mounting bolts on the vehi-
cle side. Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.
● When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/
left directions.
Inspection After Installation EBS008QY
● With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.
● Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting insulators are installed properly and free from
undue stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.
