Big hammer. In all seriousness there are some YouTube videos detailing the installation.

Takes some serious tetris.

Need to remove heatshield from stock overpipe. Otherwise, you'll need to lift the engine a bit

You actually don't need to lift the engine. You can rotate the piping and finagle it over the subframe once you've taken the heat shielding off. Though taking the headers off or the front pipe off significantly helps. Otherwise, yeah you might need to jack the motor. As for the rest of the install, it's seriously unbolting something and then bolting it back in.

best way I was able to do this


jack car up.
secure with wheel chocks
find the engine mount bolts to lower subframe, loosen and back off but do not remove completely
take floor jack on a wide 2x6 and jack up on oil pan.
remove over pipe, and place into position new overpipe. let engine back down and tighten

move overpipe into position and tighten down.


thats how i did it easy day and no worries about the engine moving too much. the nut threaded on the bolt will prevent you from remving it too much

Thanks guys for your inputs and may there’s two medthods so far I guess heat shield and and play around or just lifer it. I have a question if I left up the engine by the oilpan with a piece of wood, could this dmg the oil pan in anyway? I was worried it would and wanted to do it the other method but I’m not sure if it does or doesn’t let me know. I’m assuming lifting the engine is faster?

Wide piece of wood on the oil pan. The oil pan is steel and you aren't hitting it with force. Just lifting it up a smidge. And it'll be fine.

Use this tip: try doing it from the front of the car to the back. I have installed several of them with no issues whatsoever. If is one of those big fck off one, like 2.75 or 3", loosen the engine mounts bolts and lift the engine up a little. Use a piece of timber to lift it by the oil pan.

Good luck bro!
