Did a search. I'm taking mine off my 02 and am having trouble separating the pipes. They are not old and rusty just stuck. PB Blaster has been applied. Is there a trick or some kind of tool. The big hammer and 2X4 ain't working. Help!!!

 

the u bolts prob crimped the pipes, you may have to cut it off

 

There is an exhaust separating tool that will work without damaging the pipes.
Then there is the air hammer...works well, but it aint pretty.

 

sorry forgot this as well, what the hell is your problem, taking off GMMG???

jk what you taking it off for?

 

True duals I bet

 

He's swapping a SLP dual/dual from his other car to quiet the car down. I think it's a ZL-1 (427 possibly) that was just too loud for his tastes.

Not just for MY taste, it's the whole damn world!! My neighbors, my wife and even my kids have turned on me. And yea, it's a 427, .750 lift solid roller, SC and it does NOT work with the GMMG exhaust. Hell, my GD fuel pump is louder than most cars!! It's fun at first...but not for long.

 

ok got ya, yeah its pretty damn loud lol

 

Well, the exhaust won round one. But I've got a few surprises for it after a quick trip to NAPA. Round two coming up!

 

Round two is in the books. Scoring on the 8 point must system I'm down 20-16 and tiring fast. The exhaust system took a few gashes but hasn't moved. The air hammer is coming out and some kind of pipe separator is going in. No blood yet but there soon will be....count on it!!

 

Why don't you rent a torch and heatr it up gently then wiggle the pieces back and forth to loosen them up, to much heat and you'll burn a hole through the pipes, but this way you might be able to salvage the exhaust and maybe resell it. GOOD LUCK

 

I think the GMMG is T-304 stainless...if that's true a torch will only make it hot enough to burn your arm.

 

Got a torch and may do just that, but there is not a lot of wiggle room.....and screw the gas tank! I'm restratigizing for round three. The 90 degrees and 200% humidity in my garage does not seem to affect my opponent but is taking it's toll on me. I also have come to realize that one wrong move on my part could result in a metallic quick whack to my head and a bloody KO for the enemy.

NAPA was no help but I did get a jizz wheel and if push comes to shove I'll just cut the pipe and sleeve it back together after I get it out.

Round 3 coming up.

 

if you want it off to work on the pipes then jack the rear up, unbolt the i pipe, take off the right rear tire and drop the stock on that side, you may beable to pull it out.

 

How was it clamped together? If it was u-bolts forget about it and just cut it or remove the system in one piece as WS6firebirdTA00 said. ooh and with a car like that it sounds like you can afford some AC in your garage

Wow...this little gadget would've come in handy on soooooo many occasions...great find!

 

Are you going to sell your gmmg set up?

 

I would kill for that tool right now. Round 3 was a technical draw. I staggered him with a few good 5lb. sledge hammer blows but he's still standing. He bounced my head off the lift a few times. I've got a secret weapon for round 4!!

 

GRB so you selling the system? Cause I am interested.
