Cordless impact got laughed at, anyone know the torque of one of the Dewalt cordless impacts? My air impact finally loosened the remnants, notice is is packed with 260 ft lbs.

Doesn't look too obnoxious. And I do have a 2 ton and a 1 ton hoist if I need to pull in a different direction, etc. Any thoughts? Obviously can remove the Y-pipe if not successful, but would save a lot of wear and tear on this ole body.

Installed Y-pipe hopefully for keeps. It would be nice to have it installed when putting the engine and transmission back in the car. Remember I cut down the Y-pipe to make 3 inches all the way back. Hoping I can finagle it in.
