Hey Mike,
     You ARE kidding aren't you?

-Simple process here - take the new downpipe and 
-
-set it on the floor.  Take the baby sledge or 
-

--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,
