Wow that prop shaft, heat Shields and downpipe are murder! When I do mine I'm keeping stock downpipe, no need for all that drama. I hope I can get to all the bolts, oil return line with stock DP still on... Great video!!!!
Thank you! So the stock down pipe has the cat right after the turbo. This design while being very good for emissions, I believe is why the waste gate flap fails on these (why I had to replace turbo) because all the heat of the cat is right there. The down pipe actually was the easier part, and with it in place, would not been as easy to pull oil drain line IMO. I’m sure it can be done with it in place but just wanted to provide some additional perspective.

Need a video running bro
Great video..how long should this take a professional shop to do in your opinion?
I think when I checked with a shop it was going to be a full day labor for install.
Did you go with an 02 spacer? Just did this upgrade with the tune and I’m getting CEL
I have not done an O2 spacer. Haven't even heard of that as an option.
