When i intalled my oil pan, i used one of those neoprene gaskets. I torqued it down to spec and then had my exhaust installed. The exhaust is the b16a manifold that came with motor. i then had a gs-r flange)looked like a came from 4-2-1. Then it goes back to the high flow cat, then it's 24" reso, then the bends over the rear suspension, then the oval bend and out the stock opening in the bumper. The guy used all custom piping and welded it all together. The only flange is from the manifold to the flanger itself. I have a leak now from the gasket bending up and it's no longer making the seal to hold the oil in the pan. So i need to get the pan off. But the exhaust is so damn close to the pan, i couldn't remove the pan unless i took the exhaust off. Anyone got some suggestions for the EASIEST way to move the pan, without taking ALL of my exhaust off. here's the only pic i have of the exhaust near the pan.

any help or suggestions appreciated. Thank h-t guys and gals.

 

nah u have to take the exahust off at least the down pipe

 

you just need to drop the exhaust down there is now way around it

 

and i knew this before asking the question i was just hoping for a alternate route. Bummer. oh well. Might as well start the Bar process if i'm taking all my exhaust off. It's about time i tinkered with pegoda. Thanks anyways guys.
