PPE Downpipes + PTU service no bueno

Hey Guys,
Decided to use my nifty new PTU drain to do the service again, but only after I already drained it, noticed that there is way less clearance between the cat and the ptu with PPE downpipes. With a good amount of force and wiggling I was able to get my hand in there and get the ptu plug out to refill it. I can only imagine how close this is with the PP package and the cooling block being in the same vicinity.

Also do yourself a favor by getting a marine gear lube pump. It saved me a bunch of time, mess, and didn't need a second person to pour gear lube through a long hose from the side of the car.

If you're trying to do it from under the car it's a PITA. I remove the passenger tire and use a long 3/8 extension, much easier.
