Part List
Tools Needed
NOTE: When removing the stock J-Pipe, keep all hardware that comes off the car for installation of the COBB J-Pipe. |
Next, remove the plastic under tray by using the flathead screwdriver to remove the pushpins and the 12mm socket to remove the two bolts holding the under tray to the car. Recommended: Take pictures of where each pushpin is for your future reference.
NOTE: Keep the pushpins and hardware that come off of the under tray. |
Above the J-Pipe flange you will see 3 metal braces/shields bolted to the top 2 bolts of the J-Pipe flange. Using a 14mm socket (universal if needed), unbolt the braces and shields and remove from the vehicle. PLEASE TAKE PICTURES OF HOW THE BRACES/SHIELDS ARE ON THE CAR STOCK FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
NOTE: removal of the heat shield around the J-Pipe may be needed to remove the braces/shields. It is recommended to use a 6pt socket when unscrewing the nuts on the turbo studs. |
To get to the top right bolt on the J-Pipe flange, you may need to use a long extension to go over the J-Pipe to the bolt using a 14mm universal socket.
Once the skid plate is on the car, place the under tray in the stock position using the original pushpins and the two bolts. Use a 12mm socket to tighten the two bolts. Use the pictures you took before as a reference if needed!
NOTE: Not all of the pushpins are pointed out in the picture, a few are placed on the sides. |
