F56 downpipe fitting instructions?

Has anyone got a guide on how to do this so I can understand what's involved? I've done the swap myself on the last two gens but haven't seen anything about the 3rd gen yet.

I did the second gen downpipe on my wife's Paceman s it took less then an hour that was with the heat shields reinstalled as well .....The F$&" 56 was a different animal it took ALOT of patience and approximately 6 hours start to finish it would have taken less time if I left the heat shields off but I do not like having extra parts ....I did not have a guide just dove in

My colleague did it for me and it took about 2.5 hours.

You need to remove the undertray of the engine, the plastic covers on top where the window whipers are and you need to remove the air intake tube.

Than you can remove all the heat shields and change the DP.
