Option two is to loosen the passenger side motor mount and to find a place to lift the engine up from a bit.
Tho, being Borla I wouldnt even bother as I believe its nearly the same size as the oem overpipe. It's not worth the hassle.

I've spent about 30 min under the car maneuvering from the front but the flange seems too big to go through.. plus the overpipe from borla is longer than the stock overpipe
the reason i want to use this is I'm keeping stock catback but want to try deleting the 2nd cat and the resonator in the front pipe..the stock pipe measured smaller than 2.25" to me

so unbolt the passenger side mount only and good?

thanks for the tips everyone
