I am trying to remove my stock stock downpipe on my 06 chevy. The pipe will not come out unless I remove the dipstick tube. How do I do this? Thank you.

There is 2 nuts on 2 of the transmission bell housing bolts on the same side its on loosen them and push up and it should slide out of the tranny kinda a pain you shouldn't have to take the nuts off completley also take out the dip stick first or you'll bend it that should get you through it

"Think with your dip stick jimmy" lol!!!:D
