There is no real easy way to remove the uppipe. If you are doing it yourself I say wait till you get a downpipe too. Since you have to remove the downpipe to get to part of the uppipe anyways.

 

There isn't any easy way to get to the uppipe. It's so jammed in there that you have to take parts off just to get to it. Just take your time with it. Easiest way to get it installed is to just pay someone to install it for you.



:banana:

 

That's true....but you will have to remove the turbo to get the uppipe to come out. The reason some people think its easier is because they have done a few installs and know what they are doing. But if you are doing this yourself, i highly recommend to have a good shop install it for you, unless you like to do all the work yourself and save the money for other mods.

 

another hard part about doing it yourself is that the five studs on the factory uppipe needs to be transfered to the new one. these studs are and absolute ***** to get off without the right tools... just wanna let you know what kind of troubles you can run into.

jacking the motor up is real easy. i didnt remove my intercooler to do this install. if you do lube the outlet hose from the turbo to the intercooler, is a ***** putting that on as well.
