Those with the right tools and familiarity with the job still take the better part of a day. Theres a learning curve. Someone who hadn’t done one before, even with a well equipped shop could end up spending more than 8 hrs.

I spread it out over 2 weekends with the week in between being utilized to round trip the DDE to DUDMD.

If you have a specialty shop that can do the work, experimenting with another pipe would benefit the community. And for the LP-EGR you could potentially cut the flange off actuator and tig weld a filler in.

But, by the time you pay someone to do all that, I’m sure you’d spend as much as the BuzzKen pipe. Just have the joint between the mid-pipe and the piece you need from the old mid pipe welded instead of relying on the clamp. I thought mine wasn’t leaking, but last time I had it off I did find a slight trail of soot out through the clamp.
