Hey everyone! Today I’m going to show you how to install the OEM exhaust on a Honda S2000.
Instagram: instagram.com/diyguystv
Difficulty: Easy
Estimated time: 30 mins
Tools necessary:
- 14mm, 10mm socket: amzn.to/2zQPULo
- Silicon Grease: amzn.to/2Bmc9Lm
- Jack Stands: amzn.to/2CKG4ZT
- Jack: amzn.to/2BDjtyW
Steps
1. The first thing you want to do is load the OEM exhaust onto a jack so that the exhaust is supported right where the main pipe separates into the left and right pipes. Once the exhaust is loaded push the jack underneath the car and carefully jack up the OEM exhaust.
2. Once the exhaust is in position you’ll want to reinstall the exhaust hangers. If the exhaust hangers weren’t lubricated during exhaust removal consider lubricating them with some silicone grease. Start with the exhaust hangers closest to the rear axle. Reinstall the driver side first and then install the passenger side second. Next, reinstall the rearmost hangers for each muffler.
3. With those four exhaust hangers in place you can remove the jack supporting the exhaust. Then reinstall the fifth and final exhaust hanger near the resonator.
4. Now you’ll want to reconnect the exhaust to the catalytic converter. If the exhaust isn’t lined up with the catalytic converter wiggle the exhaust until it slides into place. Then use a 14mm socket to reinstall the three nuts securing the exhaust to the catalytic converter. Torque them to 25 ft-lbs.
5. Reinstall the rear suspension stiffener by using a 14mm socket to reinstall the four bolts securing the suspension stiffener to the rear subframe. Torque them to 33 ft-lbs. Then use a 10mm socket to reinstall the two bolts holding the charcoal canister to the suspension stiffener. Torque them to 8.7 ft-lbs.
6. With the rear suspension stiffener in place you can now reinstall the rear wheels.
7. The last thing you have to do is lower the car back down to the ground!
I know this video might be trivial to some of you but I hope it can help some people out. I’m going to pair these videos with more advanced DIY videos so be sure to check those out!
