good luck with that on a glanza, it's a hell of a lot tighter than the gt's.

Use a grips if its that type of a clip mike

ya but there's no real room to get anything in there as the clip is facing at the back of the pipe!! i really need to get it off!! i soaked it in wd40 and dont know if that will even make a differance!! if i can do it without taking off the efi i will but need some help and suggestions lads!! cheers!!

if u live any were ner me mate i would have fitted it for u . try spliting the clip with a fine pick or somthing like that . the efi pipe can be a real pain to get back on too

Right,it'll be a bit harder then,Take off the normal dual core rad,tmic pipe,and generally anything thats hindering you.this helps a lot if its jacked up, and you should be able to geet at it from underneath

If you still can't get at it then, drop the cat,turbo and acuator all in one

The efi pipe is a bitch to get on and off, hate having to do it! Just get under your car, and 1 person in the bay and work 2gether to get it off - thats how I managed to get it on and off!
