Default Horors of the H-Pipe

I got my JTL CAI and Mac o/r H-Pipe yesterday and put the CAI in in like 30 min. and went to the auto hobby shop to put in the H-Pipe, and I don't see any way to get to the clamps at the exhaust manifold. Has anyone else had this kind of problem with thier instalations, or is this a Cobra thing? This is my daily driver, and I can't really have it all taken out and not be able to get the new pipes back in. Help please!

It just takes alittle work. 18" extension and a swivel. It looks alot harder the it really is. The hard part it disconnecting the o2 sensors.

Thanks man! They told me that I had to remove/move the starter. Did you have to do that?

No starter is fine where it is. If you have access to air tools where you are working on it that will make it easier.You need a deepwell 15mm socket but try to geta shallow deepwell, it will make it eaiser. for the bottom passenger bolt pay attention to what you are doing it is easy to not get the socket on straight and strip the nut.
