Take the passenge's side wheel off and drop the rear and it will come out.

Basically remove everything in
the way on the pass side at the rear end, unbolt the clamp
from the Y pipe, disconnect the pass side exhaust hanger,
slide the drivers' side out of the hanger and pull it all out
the side, if I remember it all correctly. Personally, I just cut
mine near the axle and removed in two parts. It can always
be welded back together if need be.

Yes, it's possible to take off the stock exhaust without cutting it. You need to put the rear of the car on jack stands (from frame), unbolt the shock from the passenger's side, unbolt the lower control arm from that same side, unbolt the rear sway bar, unbolt the upper and lower panhard bars, remove the passenger wheel and then lower the rear (passenger's side) a little to give you enough clearance to work the I-pipe out to the side. It is a lot of work though if you've never worked back there before, but it can be done.
