Replacement Dynamic pipes question.

I have been reading about Dynamic response pipes , front, and come to the conclusion that most folk , send to a garage to get replaced , Part NRQA500120
Has anyone got a way out of the corrosion problem by way of an aftermarket replacement kit. Apart from saving up £339 to replace the front pipes and to fit yourself the added issue of raising the body , this all seems to be a bit much. At present I have a very small leak on one the front pipes at a bracket and without investigating further , I wish to leave alone.
I understand the front section can be split into two part numbers but I would stick with the front 4 pipes . Reports of this new assembly is very difficult to replace . Any thoughts , trying to DIY this as usual.

Separate the body. Support the body on axle stands and lower the chassis on jacks

With a bit of forward planning, it's not as daunting as it first seems

Getting the pipes out the valve block can be a challenge though...

Brit Plumber did a repair using high pressure fixings, not sure if you feel confident doing it yourself, and I doubt you would get a garage to do it.

Re dynamic pipes

Question for you experts please, when separating the body from the subframe, does the tracking need redoing afterwards?

OK , thanks I have tried in the past to get a login to Topix and failed and still failing.
I have tried INDEPENDANT LOGIN but very unsuccessful.

So bit stuck on that one , you say you might have stock of the front pipes for Sport v8 3.6 or maybe not , what price would you sell for or what price can I expect to pay for the job.
Thank you for your help meantime.

We have stock on the newer part number, LR015144

Retail at £305 + VAT

I expect RQA500120 will be obsolete, and supercede to the above number Thumbs Up

Thanks Mikey, Ill make enquiries locally, incidentally read your guide on here , was thinking that apart from removing wheel arch bit and bobs to reach body mounts to slacken doesn't seem too bad to raise 2 inches , would that be right. I also watched a video on that thread, shame I have a 4 post and not a 2 post, but hey ho I'm lucky to have that.

Best tool to get at front dynamic feed pipe with torque tool , as my 10mmx75mm long 20 torx is broken I'm struggling, extremely tight and little room .

It's OK, short tox bit and 10mm spanner, with a bit of Freeze and release!
Now next up one of the mountbolts (third one back from front)has rounded , suggesyion I have is to weld a nut to it , I ve tried hex and downsize sockets etc, anyone had this , thing is I risk destroying the mounting bush with heat, not too much of a loss. Ideas appreciated.
And thirdly on going,
Are these little dampers in the front wheel arch important , one I have is siezed.
