The down pipe and box will just drop on the floor, after you release the fixings to the manifold and to the middle exhaust section. You can't pull it out through the engine compartment. All exhaust components are fitted from underneath, rather obviously

Well my Haynes manual states:
Disconnect the front prop shaft from the axle and then remove the engine undershield.

Didn't think that was necessary, but that's what the book says.....

Did mine without removing the prop. Just a bit of brute force needed

Once upon i time i didnt know to let the anti roll bars down 5 minute job becomes 1 hour job of trying to work out how to get the pipe down!
