how to take it off especially where the back muffler and the resonator connects. looks like it goes up and over the axel?

I have it jacked up; but not on a lift, thanks... I want to do a swap from my parts car to my daily driver that has issues...

It would be easier if you have access to a cutting torch. You need to heat the pipe joints to get them apart.

Nah I would just buy a good chain cutter and clamp a new joining piece between the 2 pipes. Getting old pipes off is a real bear of a job and by the time you wedge something in there to pry them apart you'll bend them out of round and they'll leak.

thanks - if I could save the muffler and resonator i would be happy... If I do that would an exhaust shop be able to bend the pipe over the axel and make the proper connection?

i'm going to sawsall it... any suggestions where the best spots would be?

the exhaust guy says he should be able to weld it...

well i sawsalled it. it's off - it was a bear on my back and 3 or 4 blades later. I cut the back muffler is ok .. the middle one is ok but the pipes on both ends will need to be welded and a bent pipe over the wheel well. we'll see what these exhaust guys say next week. i wish i had a lift and torch... maybe someday...
