removing exhaust

In March hopefully, I'll be doing my true duals. What is the best way to remove the stock exhaust? I won't be using any of it ever again. I know I can unbolt the manifolds and y-pipe, but what about everything past that? jigsaw maybe? can you rent those?

also, I have a cutout remove too.

If you are getting rid of the old exhaust you'll have to take a swazall and cut the pipe before it bends over the rear axle. Then you just have to cut the muffler off of the pipes and shime the old pipes out. It's all just a matter of cutting the pipes in a spot that's easy to work with. It's pretty easy I had done it on my ss when I put the slp loudmouth center quad exhaust on.

keep it in decent shape, cats can be sold here or on ebay.

i would say keep the tubing from the ypipe back in decent shape, cause i think it's bigger than what comes on the v6's...would make a nice cheap upgrade for someone.

Sawzall the only way to go.
You just need to cut it in the key points for easy removal as said before.
