Collector Installation

Remove the Rear Engine Shield (If Equipped)
1. If the engine is hot allow sufficient time for the
muffler to cool, to prevent a burn injury during
installation.
2. Remove the rear engine shield (C, Figure 23)
from the top of the rear bumper (D) by removing
the 3/8" hardware (A, B, & E) securing the shield
to the bumper.
Install the Collector Mount Plate on Models with
Round Tube Bumpers
1. Install the collector mount plate (A, Figure 24) and
mount tabs (B) on to the bumper. Install two of
the 3/8-16 U-bolts (C) over the top bumper tube
and through the mount tabs and loosely secure
with the 3/8-16 nylock flange nuts (F).
NOTE: On IS500Z models use the inner mounting
holes when installing the collector mount plate and
mount tabs to the bumper with the 3/8-16 U-bolts
2. Install the remaining 3/8-16 U-bolt bolt (C) over the
middle bumper tube and loosely secure with the
3/8-16 nylock flange nuts (D).
3. Center mount plate on the bumper and tighten the
hardware for the lower U-bolt securely.
4. Temporarily install the collector mount posts (A,
Figure 25) into the collector plate and install the
hitch pins (B). This will ensure that the holes are
properly aligned for easy installation and removal.
5. Tighten the nuts (C) for the upper U-bolts securely
and remove the hitch pins and mount posts.
