Problem is only that I do not have real great access since I can only lift the car so much, I am sure I could do it but honestly right now I think I am just going to pay someone to take a torch to it, and remove the upper nuts. Hope I can get it in before Tuesday

Default i think i paid about $300... mine had to be welded, though :-/

also had to flatten out one of my pipes a bit so it didn't make contact with the underside of my car.

Default Well I could leave it and drive the car- just would be driving without a real exhaust hooked up

Doesn't bother me a lot honestly, just loud. I might wait. Nothing here would stop me from coming to the event though. Right now I have a completly split flex joint- been that way for MONTHS, new parts are just waiting to go on. I might still try to do it myself, just need a sazall or a torch to cut off some old cat nuts

Default i did my first DP swap on jack stands w/ a good impact. took about 30-45mins to get the down pipe

off the turbo and onto the ground. id guess any real shop could swap out a down pipe in a hr even w, having to deal w/ stuck hard wear. if a stud broke toss in a hr pr stud that needs tobe replaced cuz thats not so fun/easy to do w/ the turbo in the car.
