Exhaust removal issues

[sideways1]

Hi is there a easyish way to remove down pipe from system on A4 b5 1.8t.?
Its so tight for room to remove the 3 x nutsor bolts from back of cat.
Thanks in advance

If I remember correctly the Cat is one piece with the downpipe?

I've changed the turbo (years ago) when I had my AEB engined B5. You do have to tackle it from underneath (just can't get your arms in enough for leverage) but once underneath - there's a bit more room. I used a spanner that was open-end at one end; and wobbly 12 point socket at the other. The nuts weren't as tight as what I thought they'd be and came away with a small crack.

Good luck. :)
