OK, I'm trying to remove my true dual system from my Long tubes and I cannot get the x pipe to budge from the headers the hangers where the duals dump have been removed and I removed the clamps that cover where the headers fit into the x pipe. I've tried pulling, twisting, hitting with a hammer, putting a pry bar on the lip and smacking it with a hammer to pop it loose, but still nothing. I don't want to have to cut the x pipe because I was to be able to just bolt it back up later. Anyone have any bright ideas???

Get a bigger hammer and heat the pipes with a torch.

Use your legs instead of your arms up and down side to side. Clamps have sinched the metal down. I know it's a pain.

Basically "man up" ,,,,,,,,,,I'm not saying that to say You're weak or anything I just know from experience that from time to time parts like what You're having trouble with can be difficult at best to remove ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,both prior posts are right on the money good advice ,,,,,,,,,,,,sometimes a piece of exhaust tubing or galvanized pipe can help ,,,,,,sometimes even a bottle jack or a porta-power hydraulic frame and body pump with accessories can help . Good luck and 1 more thing try to not get 2 frustrated and take deep breaths when needed .

You can use a propane torch to heat it up, then start pulling and wiggling it around.

GOT IT!!! Just needed an extra set of hands and a torch. It was just a PITA by myself because my true duals are 1 piece from the headers back.
