Wondered if anyone had changed their downpipe themselves on a pfl car?
What’s involved in doing it?
Is it a subframe removal or just a straight forward prop shaft to the side?

Any help appreciated

I swapped a FL version which I believe is tighter than my pfl and the subframe just needs lowered and gearbox mount lowered a bit wasn’t too difficult just mark the subframe bolts for correct position on refitting

After watching that video I don’t think I’m willing to rip my car to bits to change it for a fairly small gain!
