Turbo downpipe removal.

I cant get this bear out! I have cut it at the curve under the truck but it looks like I have to cut it up top at the turbo?? I cant even see how I would get my saw in there if that is the case.

Are you putting in an aftermarket exhaust system?

If so, IIRC I cut mine off at the bend and pulled that section right out.

I got it. The instructions did not say to drink a beer before starting....by bad.

A note to anyone that has not done a new turbo back exhaust system. Before you even loosen the clamp at the turbo, cut all the metal bands holding the wrap on the old downpipe. That way they don't get caught on the sheet metal screws on the way down!

I remember the days when truck work wasn't based on hours it was based on beer.

How long did that take to fix? Oh, it's a four beer job.
