Didn't get a whole lot of pics of this one in progress, pretty straightforward though.

5/6" or 8mm bolts, two per side, goes back on the same way it came off.

It is advised to remove the rubber gaskets which will end up sticking to the metal housing outlets.
Clean the housing sealing surfaces with some steel wool, scrape any buildup off and smooth out
the outlet housing before adding the new Coolant Outlet Pipe.

Be sure to keep an eye on the rubber gaskets, making sure they are seated correctly.

Little bit of Anti-seize onto the bolts before the go back in is always a good idea.

Pretty straight forward ...
reattach the upper rad hose later after completing the Re&Re of the Auxiliary Coolant flow pump and DCCV.

You need the room to work on those, so therefor the upper Radiator hose is left off at this time.

It's my understanding that the GEN 1 V6 does not have an Auxiliary Coolant Flow Pump
and along with a Coolant Outlet Pipe, it also has a Coolant Inlet Pipe.

Seems the GEN 1 V8 only has a Coolant Outlet Pipe and no Inlet Pipe.
Also the GEN 1 V8 includes the required Auxiliary Coolant flow pump.
