Has anyone removed the engine Y pipe? Is it a simple loosening of clamps? I was planning on painting it speed yellow...

 

yes, it is really that easy!!! Remove the plastic vanity cover over the air filter, remove the 2 clamps at either end that hold the boost hoses onto the Y pipe and remove the boost hoses from the Y pipe. At this point, you need to undo the boost pressure sensor electrical connector. Undo the Clamp at the throttle body side, and carefully pull out and upwards on the Y pipe, pushing on the rubber connector to help it pop off the ridge on the Y pipe. Take your time and be gentle, you don't want to scratch your deck lid or either rear quarter panel.

good luck!! and speed yellow will look great on your car!!

 

Many thanks...will take pics when it is done.
