I cannot get my exhaust off!!! What the hell
Ok my exhaust needs to be re worked but I can not get this thing to freaking move! I have blasted it down with PB tried rapping on it with a rubber mallet, and all kinds of elbow grease and Nothing! I think I would have to hook it to a car and yank it off the collector its so tight. It is like it practically welded itself. Help me out guys I don't want to have to cut it.

Slip fit? Slip fit rarely "slips" once it's been on for a while, especially if you ever drive it in bad weather.

Rubber mallets never worked for me. I always had to use a mini sledge hammer & 2x4 block so I didn't dent the piping.
If all else fails, hook a chain to the exhaust, get behind the car & start pulling. I've had to do it before when the slip fitting was rusted together.
Anyways good luck man. Hopefully you won't have to cut it.

I had to cut a slit along the side of the pipe like half way down where it goes in and that let it open enough to get it off. And when i put the clamp back on it covered the cut and didnt leak at all.
