Can't get MBRP Dn pipe in, Help
I have turned and forced and cussed the 4" MBRP downpipe and can't get it in. Instructions are useless. I am going in from below and the auto trans dip stick is in the way. If I remove it to get the dp in I won't have room to reinstall it. What am I doing wrong?

I think you should be able to gently bend the dipstick tube enough to get the DP in. I didn't have to bend mine, but I didn't have the MBRP system either. My instructions did say that I might havet to bend it though.

something is wrong with your dipstick tube. the tube should be at least 1/2'' away from the 4'' downpipe. make sure it is the first piece you are putting on in the system, and i used a bungee cord between the framerails to hold the downpipe up far enough to the point where i could climb up top quick and secure it.

Appreciate the replys. I finally got it. Had to hold it up with a jack from underneath and climb on top and pull while moving the dipstick pipe around. Would have been a lot easier with two but my helper went to college.
