How to replace the intermediate exhaust pipe and three-way catalytic converter on 2003 Chevrolet Malibu?

Raising the vehicle and providing support to the three-way Catalytic Converter is the initial step before replacing the intermediate pipe. Remove the intermediate pipe from the Muffler by deleting its nuts before detaching it from the three-way Catalytic Converter through bolt removal. You should detach the nuts from the rear sway bar insulator bracket while also taking off the bracket before dropping the sway bar. First remove the intermediate pipe from the hanger after which you should remove the intermediate pipe itself. Next you should remove the three-way Catalytic Converter seal before cleaning its adjacent flange surface. The installation procedure begins with placing the new three-way Catalytic Converter seal followed by hanger attachment of the intermediate pipe. Reinstall the sway bar insulator after installing its brackets and nuts according to the service precautions for fastener security. Connect the intermediate pipe to both the three-way Catalytic Converter bolts while tightening them to 45 nm. Once fastened properly, attach the Muffler to the intermediate pipe bolts and tighten them to 50 nm. Finally, lower the vehicle.
