kewl toy!

---Simple process here - take the new downpipe and 
---

---

----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
