Hello,
It's possible to remove/replace it without lifting the engine?
Thanks
Fernando

Which part are you referring to, the actual exhaust manifold or the piping that comes after it? The manifold can be removed, a little difficult, but, it can be done. The head pipe attached to it no...not without cutting your exhaust which requires welding to replace.

On A GT I took it off without removing the engine. Just be carefull because I broke every single bolt that connects it too the exhaust manifold. I was putting a header on it so it didn't matter. If you want to use the stock manifold I would soak those bolts for a long time in oil.

The manifold is already out.
I have a new pipe to install, I thought it would be easy to take the old one off

That is the head pipe. If you're just replacing the front part, that's where the pipe splits into two, if you cut it off just past where the two pipes merge, you might be able to wiggle it out from under the car, if the car is on jack stands. The only other problem you may have is the 6 bolts that hold the pipe to the manifold. They rust BIG TIME.. be careful and good luck! 😁

No problema with manifold bolts, i think I must wait to remove the engine to do this.

Two things make this job easier to do.

First of all, the front anti-rollbar must be disconnected and lowered to provide clearance.

Secondly, the car needs to be as high as possible off the ground. If you have access to a car lift, then this is really a fairly simple task to change this exhaust headpipe.

I'm waiting to remove the engine to rebuild it, I will wait ...
Thanks to all
