Help removing exhaust piping from headers Im trying to install my tsp duals, and the drivers side exhaust pipe will not come off the header. Any tricks of the trade? Ive tried a sawzall, but I am trying to avoid cutting into the header piping. The passenger side pipe was stuck as well, but the vibration from the sawzall knocked it loose. The drivers side is STUCK.....

This tends to happen a lot. Try twisting the pipe as you pull back on it, you might also want to have a friend twist it back and forth while you pull on it. FYI, if you put some anti-seize on it before you put the pipe on it is supposed to keep this from happening.

try a lil heat as well...but wear gloves!
I use a torch at the shop for stubborn exhaust connections, etc....
It helps to loosen rust, and get things moving a lil bit...
