    How difficult would it be to install a new downpipe myself?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have an AWE downpipe coming, and I have full access to an automotive repair shop, how difficult would it be for me to change the downpipe myself? What major parts have to be removed? How long should it take?

    Thank you in advance,
    Kevin M.

    It's not that hard. You have to unbolt the drive shaft and move it to the side. The bracket supporting the factory down pipe is a chore to remove. I think with basic skills 3 hours should be enough time to install it.

    LOL budget more time than 3 hours, from personal experience.
