cut the flange in a horizontal manner then pry the one side back and it will come right off.

FIRE! i dont know i would use a little torch to see if it loosens it up. when i was getting off my cat i had to hook it up to a rope to another car and pulled with the other car a little and hit it the rest out because the clams were too tight

 

I used a dremel and just cut the flanges, but a tourch will work too if you have one.

fire and hammer: the brute force method. always works, though. i've got an acetylene torch...makes that pipe glow red hot. You can then do whatever you want to the pipe. heh...interesting in tight spaces, such as under a f-body though....
