how to remove flex pipe on a 2000 audi tt quattro

The flexpipe and downpipe connecting to the rest of the exhaust.

You will be working on some TIGHT areas and on bolts that might have been on the car for the whole lifetime so rust or broken bolts might be involved!

Tools needed: assorted set of sockets and ratchets including EXTENSIONS for about 2 feet and some flexible couplings. Hex wrench set to make the job easier and some other stuff that should be in your garage.

Soak all the bolts over night or a week before with your choice of rust remover, wd-40 or whatever you swear by. There are 3 bolts connection cat to downpipe section and 2 bolts for the exhaust sleeve that connects the rest of the exhaust system.

If you have a catalytic converter your space will be even tighter so be aware.
