I'm going to start hacking apart my DP tomorrow to put in a 3" DPPI downpipe and cat test pipe.
My question: Is the stock downpipe clamp at the turbo reusable, and is there any tips for removing it w/o damaging it? Also, are those clamps available locally besides the dealership?
TIA,

Added TS Performance 6 pos. chip and a few exhaust mods.
I reused mine when I did my exhaust system. I loosened the clamp first I think it's a 7/16 deep socket and just hit the clamp a few times with my rubber malet and it popped loose.
