• Q: How to replace the Front Exhaust Pipe on 2002 Chevrolet Prizm?

  A: The first step to install a front pipe demands lifting and supporting the vehicle before moving forward. Detach the heated Oxygen Sensor 1 then remove the two bolts and two springs from the Exhaust Manifold. To begin with remove the front pipe from the vehicle by first removing the clamp holding the front pipe to the twc followed by the single bolt release. Install a new gasket while you clean the gasket surfaces before attaching the front pipe between its mating components. Install the Exhaust Manifold with the provided two springs along with two bolts while finger-tightening these fasteners. You should now connect the front pipe to the twc while securing it with a new seal through one bolt and clamp method before finger-tightening the bolt. Tighten the fasteners after verifying system component alignment to prevent noise or vibrations. Front pipe-to-Exhaust Manifold bolts should be torqued to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.), as well as front pipe-to-twc clamp bolt to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). After completing the procedure reinstall both the heated Oxygen Sensor 1 unit and lower the vehicle.
