My Golf R is a pain in the butt to do a downpipe install. Getting the stock pipe out requires either dropping the front subframe (need alignment if you do this) or dropping the driveshaft (what I opted to do). Took like 3-4 hours to do on jack stands. I swear I spent like 1.5 hours fiddling with stupid little heat shields and crap.

Really straight forward, remove the under tray. remove the bolt from the bracket. Unplug the two O2 sensors. There is a clamp on either end of the OEM cat, remove those and it should just drop right out. Remove the two O2 sensors from the OEM cat and install them in the Fabspeed HFC and reverse the process. I replaced the OEM gasket that goes between the cat and the turbo also. I did it on a lift, but it can be done on the floor if needed.
