Which side of the lower control arm would be easiest for me to drop so i can slide the muffler from between it. The whole exhaust is dropped, except i cant slide the muffler out because its wide. I understand i can get it cut at a shop, but id rather spend my time than my money. I am just getting it out so i can install my oem header runners, cat, and a catback thats all bolted so i dont have to mess around with this again. Thanks.

 

you can use a grinder with cutting wheel and cut the piping
or remover the rear lower control arm from the body and under the brake

 

If you do not want to save the exhaust in tact, you can use a torch, angle grinder, saws all, or hack saw. Just cut it close to the normal cat-back junction. That seems easier than unbolting the LCA, where the bolts may break.

 

Just remove the LCA completely. If you leave one end bolted up, the bushing will bind up and won't allow it to drop down. When you pull down on it, it will just spring back up.

It's just 3 bolts on the LCA, and the sway bar end link if you have it.

If you do have a rear swaybar that will probably need to come off also.

 

alright thanks everybody. Im going to go with the hack saw first, mostly because the LCA bolts are tight as anything, and i thought i almost chipped one. If that doesnt work im just going to try and take it off again, but the holds are on so tight. I used a breaker bar and all on one and couldnt budge it.
