In Reply To	You don't need to disconnect U-joint even with DPs installed posted by KongZTT GT28RS MD on October 18, 2011 at 03:52 PM
Message	From my experience, this is what I have found: 2.5" Supersplit downpipes, stock oil pan, stock size turbos, no problem. 3.0" Expansion downpipes, Specialty-Z oil pan, 530BBs, it's a problem. I found it helped to remove the driver's side downpipe and install it once the engine is dropped in. And for added clearance, it does help to get the u-joint out of the way.
