problem with taking down pipe off turbo
Trying to put new exhaust and i have a problem taking downpipe of the turbo loosen the bolt on the clamp and removed other pipes from dp but cant get it off. Don't want to really hamer on it afraid to brake the turbo. By the way is there a way to remove the tail pipe with a muffler from over the axle without cutting it and not raising the car really high, The car is 00 EX 4/4

As ar as the Marmon clamp spray it with a little WD40 and let is sit then take a flathead screwdriver and gently pry up un the three flange partitions. Once you get 2 loose the rear one usually will com on off. I just went through the "Marmon Clamp from H%$^" this last weekend
If you look just under the flat metal band you will see yje flange that is broken into 3 pieces

I drove mine onto a ramp (right front and back tire) before starting my adventure. You can then, and only just work out the muffler and tailpipe section with some manipulating.
If your stock system is loose and hanging there, it makes the DP clamp doubly hard to remove. It's best to have someone below helping by pushing/holding/ cursing , or singing your praises. If you think getting it off was a treat, wait until you try the install. Just try it with out help. It can be done but why struggle?
