• Q: How to replace the Front Exhaust Pipe on 2001 Chevrolet Prizm?

  A: Begin by elevating the automobile before supporting it with proper methods for front pipe replacement. Begin by removing the heated Oxygen Sensor 1. After that disconnect the two bolts along with the two springs from the Exhaust Manifold. The next step involves removing a single securing bolt along with the clamp that connects the front pipe to the twc then extract the front pipe from the vehicle. First clean the gasket then apply a new gasket before front pipe installation. Screw two bolts into the springs to secure the front pipe through its attachment to the manifold. Begin with soft tightening of these fasteners. Use a new seal to attach the front pipe to the twc by securing it with one bolt and clamp and finish by tightening the bolt manually. The system's components need exact alignment before attaching the fasteners which requires 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) torque force for front pipe-to-exhaust manifold bolts as well as front pipe-to-twc clamp bolt torque force at 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). The technician should reinstall the heated Oxygen Sensor 1 followed by lowering the vehicle.
