Driver side up pipe, how in the......!!
First off I hope the bellowed up pipes go in easier then the old ones come out!!! I just can't seem to get that drivers side one to slide up and out. Tried flexing the firewall a bit but not a whole lot of room. Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Fought it for an hour and sdecided for a tv time out!!

Tried taking it out the bottom and still just won't come out. It just gets stuck between the firewall and the manifold. Can't get the end of the pipe to clear the manifold. Tried twisting and turning and still no luck. Thought I read somewhere about jacking up the cab on the drivers side or something like that??? IDK I just really want this beast back on the road after this weekend. Maybe I will try pushing on the firewall from the top or something. I will take a pic and show u what it looked like from the bottom.

try jacking up the transmission to give you more room un bolt the mount at the member and jack it up as high as you can go
