Thumbs up Removing exhaust

How does one remove the factory exhaust? I don't want to cut it as I still want to use it until I can afford a RB system.

I want to keep everthing from the muffler forward, I've got a sawzall will this work or would a torch be better??

Sawzall will work just fine, use a new blade and be careful of the fuel and brake lines. Make sure you wear eye protection, when you start cutting it all kinds of craps from the past 20 years will raining on you. Trust me I know first hand.

If you do not use a sazall. Use PB Blaster to penatrate the bolts.

if you have a thermal reactor, then you need a 14mm swivel socket with the u-joint thing built right in. But yeah, when I removed mine, we didn't need a sawzall. And as stated above, wear eye protection!!! I got so much rust and crap in my eyes from being under my car.
