This time I plan to unbolt the front pipe from midpipe, pull the 14mm bolt from the front pipe and move the FP/OP as one piece. Should provide more than enough room to slide the header in and reconnect easier.

With the factory OP installed that method may require the engine to be lifted a bit by pulling the passenger engine mount bolt to get enough room to slide the OP around.
Do you think OP is worth? Considering to buy the Gent5 (same as Grouppe S) but idk if it's worth the hassle or save up for JDL Ultra quiet FP
