Getting the exhaust off.......

buells1 · **Posted:** Fri Apr 28, 2006 12:27 am

I was looking at my exhaust and noticed that the rear pipe is welded to the muffler. I'm afraid that if I buy the Dynomax exhaust that I cannot get the old one off. I only have a floor jack. Has anyone got some information on the subject. I suppose I may could get it off if I hacksawed the old pipe at the muffler, but I was in hopes of not having to do that.

Take a look at this, I hackesaw right at the muffler to keep as much of the OEM pipe as possible. The front had 2-3" of pipe to work with. The back had only a 1/2" of pipe the work with. The rear pipe is removed by popping of the rubber hanger above the axle, then push the pipe foward the get it of the rear hanger.

I changed the exhaust on my 05 and it wasn't to hard. Spray a little WD40 on the rubber hangers to help slide out the hanger. Then I jacked up the rear-end to give clearance around the axle, disconnected the pipe from the cat then wiggled it out in one piece. The only cutting I had to do was shorten the tail pipe so it wasn't sticking out so far. I used a Saws-all(reciprocating saw) with a metal cutting blade on it. Make sure you use jack stands under the vehicle don't just rely on the floor jack.
