Dose engine need to come out to replace down pipes

Dose the engine need to come out to replace the down pipes or is there a way to do them while engine is still in? Thanks

they can replace whilst still in, however if one of the studs snap then its an engine out job

That's not right

I had mine done at Demand Engineering, who snapped 2 bolts. Repaired in situ

[kent_andy]

i think demand and mrc have different approaches, but id go with demand in that situation

[don0301]

You have to agree to £100 per snapped bolt prior to work starting

I believe Demand are the only people in the UK can/willing to do it in situ

It's only 1 particular stud which, if it snaps is an engine out job, the other 3 studs can be replaced in situ.

What Ian said one of them is not able to re fixed in positions , but you can take measures to limit the chance of it happening

I had mine changed last week with engine in luckily without any issue

How much do demand charge for downpipes without cats in and fitting ? Also where are they based ?

In 2014 they were £1680 according to this post, I don't know what Don paid though as he had his done more recently - viewtopic.php?f=47&t=111440&p=695359&hi ... st#p695359

I paid same price + £200 for 2 snapped bolts

I paid for a full custom exhaust too, all in came to £4k or so if i remember right (which included a decat/recat section for MOT if needed)

Epic sounds

a quick google would find them..they're in suffolk
