It depends on the construction. I've worked with two different 180s and
with both, adding them to the engine while it was in place was very, very
difficult. Some bolts go in from the top and otheres go in from the bottom. With
one set, there was a particular sequence you HAD to follow or the pipes
simply wouldn't go on. Neither of those pre-L Panteras needed their tanks moved
but I hope there are explicit directions included with your pipes....
And don't forget to mount a large heat shield attached to the decklid
(normally not included as part of the pipe assembly); with one set of pipes, a
coffee-can-sized spot of the decklid paint (left side) BOILED on a 30-mile
highway run at legal speeds. Good luck- J Deryke
