How hard is it to replace downpipe
I bought a bonez downpipe and was looking under the car today and pb blasted some nuts. And was thining to myself how am i going to reach up to the turbo to get the nuts on the top of the downpipe. So whats the easiest way to go about doing this?

i did mine on a lift so it was pretty simple. from what i remember you can get the first bolt from under the hood and the other two from under the car. i really cant tell you how hard it would be with out a lift but its pretty easy if you can get to one. just be gental i wouldnt want to strip any of those bolts. good luck.

Stand next to the car, facing the turbo. Use a 14mm end wrench and break the nut free closest to you, the one you can see. Next, use a 3/8th's ratchet and 2" extension with a 14mm shallow socket and undo the top nut closest to the motor. Then just crawl under the car and use the 14 end wrench again to take the 3rd and lower nut off.

easy...........just don't mess the nuts up.....the most difficlut will be the nut closer to the driver's side because it will be hard to get a good angle....if you can get it on a lift.....but it's not too difficult.
