The following procedure is for 2008 and older engine only; given, 2009 and newer has relocated the exhaust manifold within the cylinder head and the catalytic converter is screwed onto the exhaust manifold. The first step that must be followed is to treat the fasteners with a penetrating oil before undoing it. First, loosen the cable on the negative terminal of the battery, secondly remove the engine cover and the exhaust manifold heat shield. Lift the front of the vehicle and place in on jackstands and then you need to remove the splash shield located at the underside of the engine. Then the oxygen sensor electrical connector is removed and the catalytic converter is pulled off of the exhaust manifold. Remove the nut bolts holding the exhaust manifold support bracket and then remove the nuts bolts on the exhaust manifold that holds it to the cylinder head. Remove the old gasket and then, by using a scraper and brake system cleaner soaked in a rag, you need to clean up the gasket mating surfaces on both manifolds namely the exhaust manifold and cylinder head. Place the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head and put new nuts and bolts and tighten in sequence from the center to the outside to the required torque. Replace heat shield and fasten the bolts tightly, then securely fasten the catalytic converter to the exhaust manifold with new bolts that should be tightened to the stipulated torque. The rest of the installation is done in the reverse order of the removal of the software. Last but not the least, connect the battery, switch on the engine and look for signs of exhaust emissions.
