    Installing 42DD Downpipe to MkVI Golf R

    So I'm thinking about installing my 42DD Downpipe to my MkVI 6 Golf R myself. I'm very mechanically minded and have done plenty of work on other cars.

    Just wondering if anyone has done this before and was it relatively easy? Does anyone know if any major parts need to be removed or loosened such as tailshaft, crossmember or mounts others than the exhaust of course?

    Any tricks worth knowing?

    Cheers

    very easy.

    Do a youtube search. Quite a few how-to guides

    eg: MKV but near enough the same

      a pressed metal reinforcing/brace cross member has to come off
      rear muffler off
      front section of exhaust off
      tailshaft centre uni mount
      tailshaft rear bolts
      tailshaft front bolts
      tailshaft out
      rear O2 sensor
      front O2 sensor

      The tailshaft section might drive you nuts unless you have clearance ideally a hoist

        3-4hrs work for someone who hasn't done it before, I rekon.

        just put everything back where it came from
