Honestly this can be done in less than an hour, not counting the million belly pan bolts, super easy to do

How do I reach the top v clamp. Can't even see the bolt. Is it different for the x drive?
Will the v clamp rotate if I take off all the bottom stuff? |

It's a lot more cramped up there and longer than i thought it would be. Now just hoping if I do get it off, I can get it back on. |

I bought my car CPO so maybe something is different or it had a DP before but the whole install from stock to aftermarket took less than an hour on jackstands with nothing more than a 3/8 ratchet, a deep 13 and 16mm socket, a 6 and 10in extension and a ujoint socket thingy but didn't really use the ujoint thingy

Help again.. got everything done. Top V clamp is loose, but not all the way off. How to I finish this SOB
Update.... Removed the whole bolt from the top V clamp. This loosened it enough to get the downpipe off it. Then 15 min of wiggling it past the mid pipe, it's out Likely 3 hours in so far with 1 of the 3 being productive. Now just for the install. |

Me again. Got it almost done. Top V clamp is my last issue. I tried putting the bolt in first but then the opening wasn't big enough. Now I have it all fit, but I can't get the bolt to the other end of the v clamp to start tightening it...
Thoughts....? Update for those that come after me. I bought a new 8MM bolt for the top v clamp that is much longer than the original bolt. This allowed me to connect the bolt while still having the clamp at its maximum open width. Then lined up he v clamp and started tightening. Hoping to finish tonight Last edited by GS235XI; 08-28-2018 at 12:17 PM.. |

2 people would help. I can attest it is possible with one. Leave the back part of the exhaust loose while getting the DP in position. Best of luck. Feel free to reach back out with questions. |
