ok i am trying to take my ka(e) out and i need to retain all the parts because i am putting another ka(e) in there.... now my question is, for all u people that didnt cut what i am talking about.... there is a pipe that goes from the exhaust manifold to some kind of egr or emissions bull**** , now how do u get it around the steering collumn ? and its metal so u cant bend it, and i dont want to cut it cause then ill have quite a big exhaust leak.

but has anyone not cut this thing to get it out?

What i did was cut it, cuz it just puts warm air back into ur intake. Cut the tube that comes from the head to the egu and the get a clamp and clamp it down until there is no more air comin out. I think it is pretty useless. And then there are other wires that somw odd of it u can just leave those lay or cut and tape them. Plus it makes more room in your engine compartment.

It CAN be unbolted. WD40 and a large crescent wrench will help in this area. It will, however, probably be a bitch to do.
