Ford KL3Z-5K238-C
Tail Pipe Extension, Rear

Draining the muffler and tailpipe requires start-by placing the vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist platform. Unfasten the Torca® clamp that connects between the exhaust intermediate pipe and muffler and tailpipe assembly. The front muffler isolator and bracket assembly can be separated from the frame by unfastening its two bolts before moving the muffler and tailpipe assembly past the intermediate pipe and through the rear tailpipe hanger. The exhaust Torca® clamp needs abrasive pad treatment on its surface to remove rust followed by installation of the new muffler and tailpipe assembly before assembly. Fit the muffler and tailpipe assembly so the alignment nub inserts into the L-notch of the exhaust intermediate pipe while placing it into the rear tailpipe hanger. Secure the front muffler isolator with bracket assembly using two bolts while tightening them to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft). The Torca® clamp connecting the exhaust intermediate pipe to the muffler and tailpipe assembly should be tightened to 47 Nm (35 lb-ft).

Service and repair processes of the exhaust intermediate pipe start after securing the vehicle in NEUTRAL gear and hoisting it vertically. Start by disconnecting the muffler along with the tailpipe. The exhaust Y-pipe dual catalytic converter-to-exhaust intermediate pipe can be detached from the vehicle by taking out its two installation bolts. When installing the pipe position it facing the 1 o'clock mark with its rear L-notch at the back. The exhaust intermediate pipe requires insertion into the vehicle after which two exhaust Y-pipe dual catalytic converter-to-exhaust intermediate pipe bolts need installation by first tightening the outer bolt followed by inner bolt tightening to 47 Nm (35 lb-ft) then outer bolt tightening to 47 Nm (35 lb-ft). You must reinstall the tailpipe together with the muffler during this process.

Ensure the vehicle is in NEUTRAL and positioned on a hoist.
