I just recently started modifying my car some of these mods include, 3" GM maf(blow through setup), 3" intake pipe, 2.5" Intercooler piping, Wideband 02, Boost controller, and a boost gauge. Now I'll get to where my problem is. After installing my most recent thing which was the 3" intake pipe I backed out of my driveway about to head to walmart. Little did I know that the 3" intake pipe wasn't letting me shift into first or second gear:ohdamn:. So now my car is stuck at the bottom of my driveway and due to certain circumstances I cannot get it back up into the driveway.

How can I go about getting around this problem? Once it stops raining and it's no longer night outside I'll remove the pipe just to get it back into my driveway. But how have other people managed to fit 3" and even 4" intake pipes on their car? I could see strapping it back somehow would be a temporary fix but unless I install a FMIC I have no other option of putting another bend in the pipe or trying to reroute it a different way. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
 
Completely forgot that I had posted this went back out to work on the car and eventually got something to work. It's a 1g and I just made a small dent on the side of the pipe so now everything clears.
