Installing Overpipe Question
I've searched the threads but couldn't find a clear-cut answer. I'm most likely going the route of raising the engine instead of trying to wiggle the pipe out with the heat shield off. So, I heard you have to remove the passenger side engine mount. Can anyone provide a picture or a detailed description to where this is? Thank you in advance

I dont have any pics, but i did it recently and there were two mounts that i unbolted to get it out. The two mounts (maybe you can do with only one, i dunno) become obvious once you are under there.

You just remove the nut on the motor mount. Just one on each side. The motor can then be jacked up very easily to get you the clearance needed. On this car doing this is super easy, and takes about 1-2 minutes vs the hour of frustration of trying to squeeze it out without moving the motor.

Just one bolt on the lower mount near the overpipe just remove it and raise the engine with a block of wood on oil pan just make sure you dont lift too high so the bolt comes all the way out cause it might be a pain to get back in!! You can get a good inch extra of clearance install was a breeze after that!!
Hope it helps good luck Mike |

I took the heat shield off as well and then pushed the engine up by hand and wiggled the over pipe out.
