  Q: How to replace the Front Exhaust Pipe on 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.

  Q: How to service and repair the Exhaust Pipe on Chevrolet Prizm?

  A:

  Before working on the Exhaust Pipe the technician needs to raise and support the vehicle. Cut the heated Oxygen Sensor 1 loose before removing two Exhaust Manifold bolts and the two springs from the Exhaust Manifold. Detaching the clamp and one bolt permits removal of the front pipe from its position between the front pipe and three way Catalytic Converter (TWC). Wash the gasket material and apply a new gasket when putting back the front pipe. Use the two springs and two bolts to connect the front pipe to the manifold before initial fastening by hand. You must next attach the front pipe onto the twc by installing a new seal along with one clamp and bolt while performing finger tightening on the bolt. All system components need proper alignment to avoid noise and vibrations during fastener tightening. The front pipe-to-exhaust manifold bolts should be tightened to 50nm (37 ft. Lbs.) while the front pipe-to-twc clamp bolt receives 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). Lower the vehicle after finishing the installation of heated Oxygen Sensor 1.
