Note
The exhaust pipe at the rear of the catalytic convertor is stamped with two alignment marks and the letters "A" (for automatic transmission) and "S" (for manual transmission). Depending on the type of transmission installed, one of these alignment marks is selected as a reference for assembly.. The clamp tube should be positioned approximately 5 mm (0.197 in) from the appropriate mark.
