First off what type of car?

if it's a 98+ camaro or TA, I know you gotta bring out the (saw), but try to make it a clean cut so it can be welded back together if it needs to be.

if your ditching the catback then start cutting away... Most cut over the axle to get it out. and dont be surprised if u break alot of bolts. Goodluck!
