Re: How to

Simple process here - take the new downpipe and 
set it on the floor.  Take the baby sledge or 
whatever and hit it until it is 6 inches by 2 
inches.  This will make it possible to put the 
new downpipe in the stock cavity without having 
to dimple the firewall.

-Howdy All!
-
-I'm helping a friend install his Hypermax 3in 
turbo
-downpipe, and while the reciprocating saw made
-short work of the stock downpipe, we're left
-scratching our heads as to how to gain enough
-clearance to install the new pipe.
-
-The directions note to "dimple" the firewall, 
but
-the firewall seems pretty sturdy and there's not
-enough room back there (or from underneath) to
-simply "whack" at it with a hammer or baby 
sledge.
-
-So, the question is, to those who have installed
-new discharge pipes, how did you gain enough
-clearance?
-
-BTW, if someone answers that they dropped the
-tranny a bit, please provide the details for the 
5-
-speed as neither of us has a service manual
-(although we've got the jack & tools to do it) 
and
-there are more than a few bolts holding that 
rear
-tranny support up there.  It's hard to tell 
which
-ones to loosen to simply drop the tranny a 
little.
-
-Anyway, thanx for the help.

-Best Regards,
