I'm in the final stage of removing my up pipe. The exhaust manifold is off, the up pipe is completely unbolted. I can't figure out how to wiggle it out, and my engine mount is blocked by my swaybar. If you can help me get this thing out, it's yours.

located in palo alto

Change of plans. I managed to get this thing off by unbolting the FSB so I could unbolt the engine mount. If anyone wants to buy it please PM me.

 

On a side note: if someone doesn't want to come help and get a sway bar, I would love some advice. All of the instructions I have read/watched just say "unbolt engine mount" but it's not so simple when you have an aftermarket front sway bar.

 

use a small lift to lift the engine up an inch or so to give more clearance for the up to slide out the bottom. no need to remove a mount.

 

So you are proposing i jack up the engine without unbolting the mount? Since I have the manifold off i can put a 2x4 under the passenger side head and jack from there which is better than the oil pan
