aftermarket cat-back intermediate pipes

i've got a sort of weird question: what aftermarket catback systems come with an intermediate pipe that can be installed on the car without dropping the rearend?

the reason i ask is that when we were taking off the factory intermediate pipe, we couldn't manuever it out because the rearend kept getting in the way, so we had to cut it. but if i get an exhaust system and the i-pipe is the same way, i don't wanna drop the rearend to get it on. make sense? is there a trick to getting one on/off without removing anything else?

I am pretty sure all of them do. Most I pipes have a slip fit and clamp right above the axel. You install the rear section from behind the wheel and the longer front section in front of the wheel. I am pretty sure someone has a pic of this.

yeah the stock i-pipe was a PITA to get out, but i was able to and taking down the panhard bar and brace, and letting the rear end hang all the way down.

my slp exhaust had a 2 piece pipe just like ShiftyCapone said.
