*the nut closest to the turbo is easy to undo with the cut down spanner.
*regardless of whatever the manufacturer of that pipe says, the reality is if you dont undo the nut on the pipe you cant change the filter.

you are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

What am I missing here?

I've never had to remove any pipe to change either filter.

Is this just for bigger turbos?
