Question Quick Downpipe install question

Okay, got the downpipe on my car, all bolted on, and I'm having some difficulty piecing back together what order things go back on, LOL. I have the metal Y-pipe off, another metal pipe (looks like it came from rear turbo (I can reach back and feel the blades)) plus airbox and associated hoses.



My quick question is, which damn metal pipe goes on first, and if possible, does anyone have a pic of their orientation again? I've been doing this little project off and on for 4 days now, and I'm starting to forget stuff. (NOTE TO SELF: Take pictures as I go next time).

Thanks guys!

You'll have to put the y-pipe on first, then the rear turbo intake pipe. As far as orientation, the short leg of the y-pipe goes to the front of the car, if thats what you were looking for. Sorry, no pics. Just out of curiousity, why did you remove all these pieces anyway? I didn't take any of that off when I installed my downpipe and never ran into any space or fitment issues with it there.

I didn't run into too many space issues, but it made it so much easier, and it was much, much easier to get a nice, good look @ my turbos this way. They still look good, putting out some oil though

Thanks again.
