i am at the stage of putting on the engine pipe up to the right hand exhaust manifold after a full day of trying to get the old one off and it was the top nut/stud that was a bugger i tried to use different combination sockets starting with deep 1/2 drive 13mm and then short socket woulnt fit coz of the stud rhe longer socket woulndt fit with the ratchet after few trips back and fourth autopro i used a medium length socket and also the flexible adaptor reson for this is because the stud/nut faces in a direction towards the gearbox torque converter cover and i aslo took out 1 bolt that was mating the trans to the engine which was in the way of the socket ext bars Of all the jobs i hve done on this car this was a tuffy it shouldve taken less time to do this job The left hand pipe took five minutes all i can say is good luck if you have to do the same engine pipe i did a job on the vt v6 cat converter with two pipes <one piece> it was easier to do tommorow i will finish putting the pipes back in
iv put new RH pipe in but now it sits upgainst steering rack now got vibration gotta take it in pipe is almost the same exept for where the stock pipe has a narrow section and this one dosent
series 2 right hand engine pipe v6
