You have 4 pipes on the front right and 2 on the rear right.

And this is what the pipe set looks like, different engined vehicles have different pipes so you would need the correct type. The ones here are for the 5.0 but malting list them all.

It's great news that you're making progress with this. I hope you got your pipes for the lower price!

Apologies, I noticed a typo in my previous post. You need a 38mm socket for the valve block.

If your profile is correct, and its an 06 car, the outrigger will unbolt from the chassis, so you won't have to lift the body at all |

I think it was the 10mm but I bought mine from a local agricultural and machinery specialist. If I remember correctly, I was pleasantly surprised by the price and got Stainless for something like an extra 20p each and rated to 10 times that of the ACE system. Hopefully you want need them and you can unbolt the out rigger as DM said. To remove the pipes from the valve block I used a tool like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/US-Pro-Plastic-...Swj0NUbyln I put the open end over the flared part of the pipe and levered them out. I believe they can be a nightmare but mine popped out in short order (the car was 7 year old so older could be more difficult). 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current) 2012 5.0 SC AB. Sadly written off by a campervan 23 plate Focus ST (Current) 1942 VEP Ford GPW Jeep (Willys) (Current) 1943 Whites M16 Halftrack (Current) 16 plate Eurofighter Typhoon, 2 x Eurojet engines with 20,000lbs thrust each. 1380mph |

I don’t think removing the one bolt will make any difference, there’s 4 or 5? On each side.
