Installing top end pipe on FG

[sperera]

I want to install my DDM top end pipe this weekend onto my FG MB but have heard that I need to cut some of the roll cage away.

Can anyone confirm what section I need to cut? I think it will be the centre bit that sits directly infront of the muffler in stock form but would like to confirm before I remove this bit.

Any ideas?

Really, no ones installed one of these pipes on a FG before? :helpsmilie:

No mate,you don't have to cut the cage ,there are pictures of mine on here somewhere to prove.

What MB do you have? You should not need to remove anything that I have heard of.

im part of another forum and there is talk that the centre bar that sits right infront of the muffler when its in stock form that needs to be removed otherwise it melts. just wanted to know if its a must or not. Also some discussion that there are allot of these pipes that the rear needs to be drilled out a bit because sometimes they come partially blocked.

even if it does hit the cross bar, it only takes seconds to remove. I had to take the low center front part out for the jetpro mt5 v2 pipe. I have a used rollbar from ebay has a melted center part.. some hit some don't. even just a hacksaw blade and 5 mins gets it out of the way if you need to.

I'd be more worried about how much body needs to be removed. if I had a MB I would look at the jp mb pipe. it just looks so intimidating hehe. and no cutting required

Going to try and remove the cross bar tomo, should be pretty striaight foward. I tried to fit last night for a brief moment without removing but there's not way, also a little worried a bout the side bar but I think there may be a couple of mm gap which is hopefully enough not to melt the bar.

Will let you know tomo hopefully.

Try and do it while I am at work.

thanks for the info. Awesome stuff. I am in the middle of putting it on now. Cut out the centre bar, no worries there. Getting the header bolts in was tight and fiddly. Bracket not ligned up properly. Going to drill it out a bit later today and then finish off the install, let you all know when its done.

well ive finished. slight mod to the bracket to widen the hole and it fits perfect, once the centre bar was removed, will post some pics soon.

cant wait to hear what it sounds like!
