Immediate exhaust removal advice needed!
Immediate exhaust removal advice needed! I'm yanking my LM2 system and I cannot get the motherf'n small over the axle pipe loose. It's loose from the resonator but I can't wiggle it out without getting that pipe off. Any advice on this would be appreciated. I'm 5 mins from taking a sawzall to a perfectly good lm2 system.......I just don't care at this point, I want it off.
Is there a way to semi-drop the rear? That sounds pretty drastic. I really hate to cut the pipe, but damn it just won't come free. Normally I'll just bang on the clamp to get it to come loose when it's a pipe on a straight section, but it's curved and it doesn't work.

I just went thru this a couple weeks ago when i replaced my LM with the GMMG exhaust. It just wouldn't come loose at the connection over the axle. I think the clamp put a crimp in the pipe that made it impossible to come loose. So, I too got a little p.o.'d at it and ended up getting out the air cutter and made a few slices at the end so that i could splay it out a bit and then I was able to pull the end piece out.
I wanted to salvage it as best i can in order to resell it. Nothing that a little welding can't fix.
what a pain though...........glad i put on the last and final exhaust i'll ever need!

one thing that I did forget to mention earlier.........you WILL need to drop the rear by using either a lift or jack stands......there is NO way to pull out that piece over the axle unless you do that
luckily we have a lift in our garage
but, as someone mentioned before, you COULD just cut it and be done with it. I chose to try to keep in as much in tacked as possible.
