The best spark plug is splitfire. Did you not know
that? You get TWO sparks for the price of one :-)
If you dont believe me just ask the man selling
them out on the street corner

---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

----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,
----Jay
