[QUOTE="KenB, post: 11247761, member: 122551"] passenger downpipe - two piece to make install easy [img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-GY3RVbDe7dk/TqCQ2jj2rqI/AAAAAAAACW4/K3hFeHnRy64/s800/IMAG0262.jpg[/img] [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VgImEMKhK9E/TqCQ2iu4DHI/AAAAAAAACW4/WkgNGuxkFvE/s800/IMAG0261.jpg[/img] One of the main sticking points has been the driver's side downpipe and trying to avoid the oil dipstick when still getting around the steering shaft. This is what we first came up with: [img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-eZSo4xlTI4A/TqW-HP3LOWI/AAAAAAAACZ8/MmyXW7tibxU/s800/IMAG0251.jpg[/img] This 'worked' but we were unhappy with the routing of the downpipe and I don't like the bend being that harsh that close to the turbo. Then Jake decided to try and go straight back and stay as tight the the strut tower as possible. This allowed for a better shaped downpipe but made it very difficult to get to the dipstick. Still unhappy, Jake and I put our heads together and decided to make a dipstick tube extension.

Problem solved.
