Trying to take the oem downpipe out but seems hard to get the higher clamp off, youtube videos don't seem to have this piece my car has that's blocking it, any idea to how to do it? I'm pretty new to this stuff lmao

Interesting part that's in the way. I've never seen that. I have the convertible model and it was a pain to get in. My advice is patience and to tie a knot to the pipe so someone can hold it while you position it into place. Best of luck.

Looks an additional casting in the transfer-case/oil pan. Is your car AWD/Xdrive?

Looks like x-drive. Everything you do will be harder because of it.
