i ended up not taking down the b-pipe. didn't want to deal with new gaskets and the like. taking it out was fairly easy. Only ran into a problem getting the poly bushing into the end of the change rod that attaches to the tranny. Tried putting in a vice to press it in and using a bolt set up to pull it in. Then I remembered (after about an hour of fighting with it) That someone on here said if it is giving me a problem then to put it on the ground and step on it. Didn't think it would work but it popped right in. Couldn't believe it! Oh well its all in now and back together. It is a skunk2 dual bend and a set of ES bushings. love it.
