YC is very right you you know.

To give yourself a fighting chance hehe, you need some plus gas, some heat, rubber mallet and possibly some wood(to use as a drift)...the front down pipes can be VERY stuck even after you've managed to remove nuts.

I'm not sure you can remove the mid section(which in an uncut system obviously has can) without loosening the nuts on front down pipe.

If thye've never been removed, expect a fight with the front nuts, bolt on the clamp that holds the mid section to the rear stub.

I'd do a search on site with regards to removing exhaust system. There are some good tips from Sid Squid, Spannerman, YC.... on that.

Make sure, all tools to be used are good quality and clean/remove any crud from in/around allen bolt heads , nuts. Try to do it as 'right' as you possibly can, first time to save yourself possibly grieve.

Not to tryign to scare you lol. Personally, I'd have just stuck a cut can on


Cheers
Ben
