use a grinder to cut a slit up the pipe that goes over the one back to the dent. 2 slits 180 degrees from each other and pry out on the pipe a little. also get some penitrating oil/lube and thats what I had to do to my old exhaust to get it apart so I could ship it away to someone. and with band clamps it shouldn't leak later
