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.

:confused:

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.
