Exhaust crossover pipe

Rather than body off, can the cross pipe be replaced if gearbox is removed?

Yes, and that is usually the preferred method, as its quicker

However, your only 1 snapped stud away from lifting the body

Snapped stud or seized nut. I had a living hell with mine. In the end I bought a 2 post lift to take the body off

And for a laugh had a jig made and then got a well known company to make an upgraded crossover.

Iirc about a year or two ago there was a post on here where a guy had replaced his crossover pipe in situ without taking gearbox out or body off!

I bought one second hand off the bay. I’ll have a look what model it is.

It’s been said that you can do it with the body on bits it’s a complete total pig of a job and if just 1 stud or nut rounds or snaps it’s game over. Jarrod
