Yeh my wife. lol
must say Im a bit nervous bout the whole thing. Most over here put in a 3.5" down pipe then go 4". Apparently there's not much room cause of the right hand drive thing. Only one way to find out.

You'll get it in. Pete's truck was lifted just enough that the pipe went up with no issues at all. If need be jack the front of the truck up just enough to snake the down pipe up. Then youe wife can hold it from the bottom while you attach it to the turbo. Just be patient it is a tight fit and can get frustrating at times.
you can't fix stupid!

Well it took me about three beers. two of em were on that bloody downpipe.
Couldnt crack the seal on that clamp, then after that had to bend the Tranny filler tube to get the pipe out. There is no way that 4" is gunna fit up there.
There's gunna have to bit a bit of cuttn and bendn. Will put sum pics up in the morning. Its fridie night now and Im half stung.

Here is a shot frpm under the truck with the downpipe removed
Now there looks like there is heaps of room, but when ya get up the top that filler tube gets in the way of the flanged part that has to clamp on to the turbo.
Those two arrows on the panel join is where it needs to be cut and folded back. The new 4" will rest against the up pipe (which are leaking) and just fit if I get rid of that lip.
