How easily do the downpipes come out of our trucks? Do you have to put them on a lift, remove the turbo, etc., or will they come out without too much hassle?
Thanks!

No need to take the GPCM off, I have done several without removing it. Its a little tough to get the v band off with it in the way, but then again its harder to get the gpcm bracket off.
What's the GPCM? 
Does the downpipe come out through the top or the bottom of the engine compartment?

Ok, that makes sense. There's some hi-temp wrap that was loosely put on when my turbo was installed, but it's coming undone. I want to get the downpipe out and re-wrap it properly.
Speaking of the dipstick, you guys with DiamondEye downpipes...can you fit the new 3.5" piping between the dipstick and block without any modifications?
On my LMM, I turned the stock downpipe into a 2 piece with a sawzall........Damn thing didn't want to come out :rofl:
Paul FWIW the LMM imo it is better to remove the GPCM
Is the LMM really any different than the LBZ?

Motor is covered up more in the back harder to get to.

IMO yes, I found that the lbz is more similar to a LLY as far as DP install
And have fun with the dipstick removal
Best to have a spare seal.
