Removing old exhaust..

[Otto]

Any tips on removing my old rusty exhaust? I got my new dynomax cat back in today but I cant get the damn old muffler-back pipe out from the rear axle. Should I have to take this pile to a garage to put up on the hoist? Cutting with metal saw would probably take an hour and one tired arm..Any ideas>?

sawsall is the way i do it. Takes about 10 seconds a cut. cut that old rusty junk outta there!even with a hoist!

Sawzall, angle grinder and torch are the only way to go for exhaust work.
If you want to remove a pipe from it's slip over fit but cant because POS u-bolt clamps crimped them together I like to take an angle grinder and cut a slit in the pipe along the joint, then with a little elbow grease you can pull it apart.
