hi..
I need some advice about the swap

1) the exhaust,,

Is it save to cut the manifolds after the collector.
The engine subframe will be lowered by 25 mm

2) the water pipes
Image

is it neccessary to cut the frame arond the radiator as shown so the water pipes will fit well.

The engine mounts are from 300mm.de and is now in position 2

all advice are well accepted
