Can the OE Turbo induction pipe be removed and replaced with another OE pipe without removing the inlet manifold?

 

im thinking of upgrading mine to but for what i understand the inlet manifold has to come off

 

I dont want to upgrade mine just replace like for like.

 

not without damaging it although i believe it has been done, its easier to raise the inlet slightly anyway imo !!!

 

the perrin turbo pipe is fitted without removing the inlet manifold!!!!
tsl motorsport can supply or flat4online.co.uk

 

i replaced mine with a samco one without taking the inlet manifold off,but the samco hose is flexible and could be bent were as the oe one is very rigid,ide say it could probably be done but you might risk damaging the pipe.
