What do you think of this downpipe?

Do you have to remove the oil pan to apply it or can you just do it on the seams?

Yes, you'll need to remove the pan and clean off the old FIPG from both mating surfaces. Best done by pulling the engine from the car (so you might as well replace the other seals/gaskets too), but it is possible to drop the front crossmember (ends up being basically as much work for far worse working conditions).

you can pull it while in the car.. just not fun.

I think I'll just let it leak, lol.

I dropped the front sub frame when I did my bearings. oil pan gasket was no sweat. supported the engine with a hoist (home made haha), unhooked the motor mounts. put a jack under the sub frame and took out the bolts. it's not THAT bad.
