I purchased a Hytech headerback from a guy on here. Just waiting for it to be shipped, but the seller can't seem to to separate the b-pipe from the muffler. He's going to try to ship it out as one whole exhaust. But I'm afraid it might cost too much and be more susceptible to damage (I don't trust shipping companies), so I'm just asking you guys if you've ever ran into this problem and what you guys have or would do to solve this problem. I will pass along the advice.

If it costs too much or he can't separate the pipes, I was just going to drive and pick it up. I'm in Sacramento and he's in San Diego. A good 8 hrs. I feel like going on a road trip anyway.

Thanks.

 

My Hytech muffler was was fairly easy to seperate from the B-pipe as I did it several times while adjusting it to fit my car. It's a simple slipjoint that is secured with a 12 mm bolt. Just undo that bolt and wiggle/twist the muffer until you seperate it from the B-pipe. Shouldn't really be a hard thing to do.

 

I haven't had to take mine off yet, but when installing it slid in and out fairly easily. Just takes a little fenagling. (serioulsy how do you spell that word?)

 

 

Maybe some WD or something to break it up? Can't say I have one in front of me but it sounds like it just slides over it.

 

if it's been on the car for a while that joint is gonna be tough to get apart.

wd40 / liquid wrench or whatever.. spray that **** and twissssst.

good luck!

 

You could always heat up the outer pipe of the slip joint really hot to expand them metal in addition to the things described ^

That may work, but theres also another pipe inside it. 3 in all.
