Angry Invidia downpipe Install evo X FML!

Is there any tricks to installing an invidia downpipe? I can not see any way to access the bolts in a way to get any leverage . I used ever tool in the book i removed the heat sheild and strut bar and also tried reaching up from underneath still had no room to get any kind of wrench on the bolts.. PLEASE HELP

There are a couple of other downpipe threads in the how-to section with lots of info. You should be looking there for info.

You could remove the exhaust manifold and turbo with the downpipe as a whole........

under the car, using a long extension and a wobble head with a torque gun, access it along the down pipe area
