Before even ordering the part, check:

Check:

The shape of the exhaust pipe

The state of the clamping part of theintermediate on the exhaust pipe, here you need 66mm

The condition of the springs of the clamping bolt of the pipe on the collector.

Also remember to order the gasket between the exhaust pipe and the manifold as well as the mastic of assembly it can always be useful.

There is :

2 silentblocs for the rear silencer

2 silentblocs for the silencieux central

And 54mm hose clamp for the rear silencer on the central.

And 66mm hose clamp for the silencieux central on the exhaust pipe.

With a 13mm long socket remove the 2 nuts then the clamp.

Remove it silentbloc by pulling on it. Do this for both silentblocs

Remove it rear silencer.

The clamp and the 2 silentblocs being in good condition I decided to reuse them.

Remove the washer then the 2 silentblocs.

Remove the 2 nuts with a 13mm long socket then remove the clamp.

Remove it silencieux central.

Remove the 2 nuts and springs with a 13mm long socket.

I will change the 2 silentblocs which are in too bad condition but will reuse the clamp as well as the springs and nuts for fixing the exhaust pipe.

The gasket remained on the manifold with a flat screwdriver remove it by levering it.

New seal

Old seal

The new seal was not good so I reused the old one which I brushed lightly with a wire brush and on which I put some mounting paste on both sides to ensure watertightness.

Clean the gasket seat on the exhaust manifold with a wire brush.

Reassembly is carried out in reverse order.
