I've spent alot of time measuring the tunnel versus the R154 as has Pagemo and to both of us feel the "liner" in the tunnel (doubled metal part) has to come out. However, I've heard several guys talking about they were able to fit the R154 with some "gentle" (insert sarchasm) massaging with a BFH. Anyone have photos of their handiwork in the tunnel with a hammer???? I've made a few love-licks on it and it seems a tremendous blow is needed to move anything in that tunnel. I can see hour upon hour under the car with a small sledge in my future.

Wow, how long did that take? I assume you just used an angle grinder and a cutting wheel?

I beat the ever living snot out of my tunnel only to cut the first layer out. I welded all the holes and rips closed.
Please forgive the crappy welds the liner in the welding feed hose went bad.
