Help me take my stock exhaust off

Im taking off my jethot y-pipe which is hooked into the stock piping and the stock 2otl.. Is there any way I can take the stock piping out without having to hacksaw it off? The clamps have crimped the piping together and its not going to budge.. Any suggestions?

Drop the rear end and remove panhard rod assembly. No biggy.

I jacked my rearend (on the car smartass's) REAL high and wiggled it this way and that way till it came out. It was a MAJOR pita! but I got it out! Hope this helps you out.

Re: Help me take my stock exhaust off

jack up the rear end of the car, not the actual rear end, so the rear suspension is completely lax, there should be enought clearance for you to work the exhaust out of there.

Re: Help me take my stock exhaust off

if theres not enough room..just remove the shocks but support the rear..that will give you the rest of the clearance you need.
