#95137, "Hahn downpipe advise?"


          

I'm trying to remove my dp and I can't remember how to get the bottom bolt off, its been so long since I've had it off. I have searched and searched and I can't find anything on this.

Thanks





Oh, you don't like altezza's? Too bad, your gonna get a good look at mine.

It sucks. The best way to deal with it is to use a box end wrench, you might have to remove the radiator to get more "angular travel" depending on what kind of biceps and wrench you have access to. Once you have it off, cut that stud down by a 1/4" or so, when I bought my kit it came waaaaaay too long from HRC, which made installation and removal damn near impossible.

I have a set of stubby wrenches I'm planning on using those. Now if I could just make time to get it done.

Well I got it off, but trashed a bunch of shit in the process. Oh well I wanted the Eliminator DP anyway. Now I have a good reason to go ahead and buy it.
