Thank you very much for this writeup, it helped me a lot. I started the install today but stopped after taking both of the DP's off, I then realized I received two of the rear pipes... I am going to get the right one on Monday and will finish the install.

I have a question, I quickly bolted the steering rack back into place so I could roll the car a little bit with the DP's off. I noticed when the wheels are straight the steering wheel is no longer centered, its about 15-20 degrees off... When I finish the install on Monday I am assuming with the steering rack off I just need to straighten the wheels and center the steering wheel, make sure they stay in place, and then mount the rack back into place? Any other tips, if I feel its off a bit is there an easy way to do small adjustments?

I have to say the install is very easy, the only difficult part is that 3 of the nuts are hard to reach. But as long as you have the right tools then you wont have any issues.

Both of the 5/8 nuts on top of the steering rack were kind of a pain, the only real problem bolt was the 12mm nut that required a swivel that attaches the rear dp to the bracket.
