Default Messed up ORY sitation...

Okay heres the deal... I put some Jet Hot LTs on my car a while back and I was impatient and I got a custom ORY made that day, and it turned out to be a POS..

Now tomorrow Im pickin up my Hooker ORY, and I want to get it on my car ASAP. My shitty custom one is welded to my headers and to my I pipe, what should I do?? Thanks - Darren

a lot of time & patience with a sawzaw and grinder. good luck with it though. i would probably saw it off close to where the 2 pipes come together on all 3 places. try not to cut the end of the headers and cat back off. kinda like cut the guts out of it and grind the rest of the y pipe off the headers and y pipe. or try to grind the welds and hope the pieces havent joined together to well.

most muffler shops have a air torque that can cut the welds and not destroy everything

don't feel bad i went the patient route and got a header ORY package and it didn't fit
had to get a local shop to re-flare the ends and change some of the bends cost $80.
I'd ask an exhaust shop the best way to remove it or just let them do it that way if they mess up they got to fix it.
