Good Idea?

I had thought of the same thing, but after the whole system was in and just "tacked", it looked as if there was sufficient clearance to remove/replace the tranny w/o needing to use the clamps (for additional room).

In other works, the "X" pipe is far enough back, that if you drop the system @ the collectors, there should be plenty of room to drop the tranny. I welded the whole Pypes system all the way back.

Keep in mind, that I have a 4 speed, so a 727 etc might be different.
