Default Best place to cut off aftermarket cat-back?

I'm about to remove my GMMG exhaust and I would like to sell it but I can't just pull it apart because the exhaust clamp where the pipes meet over the axle has crimped the pipes together. Any suggestions?

ide say cut it off right before the clamp, forward of the axle. this way you have extra pipeing added to the catback

take a cut off wheel and put some reliefs where the crimp is and pull each side of the pipe away from the inner pipe. try not to go through to the other pipe if you can!!

that is a good idea and i have a monster size screwdriver i could use to pry up the relieved section. Only thing i'm worried about is if there is enough room to do all that though

Yeah I agree cut if off and then send another clamp that will fit the pipe
