I think all up pipes are one piece. Are you talking about a down pipe?

there are two pipes, cant be done with one piece that i can imagine

Trans dont have to be removed ( 1 hour) , but you will have many many hours of fun getting to bolts with extensions, swivels and creativity if you dont remove the trans

The ad for the part says that it can be installed from the top without transmission removal. Looks like a good price on it.

$175?

Run away. Irate I believe had a one piece and probably fits, it was $500-600. That unit looks like junk and I would rather drive with leaking OE uppipes

I just did this kit on a OBS with an auto, you dont need to drop the trans. If you do the multi-piece set, go in from the top, drivers side firewall with need to be tweaked with prybar but it will go after a lot of twisting and cussing. Same with the passenger side, go from the top and go underneath to move around the tranny dipstick. I had the turbo pulled to do the E-fuel system, if you dont plan on pulling the turbo again I would just spend the moeny and get the new pipe while you are there.

Im not so sure about that. I don't care how it "looks" if it is indeed functional. I installed some very shoddy (cheap) up pipes on my old SD and they worked just fine. If a guy is on a budget, sometimes you gotta roll the dice to save 3-400 bucks.
