ok i need to put on my new muffler but my exhuast pipes are rusted to the muffler and what do i do to get the pipes off without using a saw or heat. should i use a chiesle. i know it might dent up the pipes but i would be getting a magnaflow sometime later so it isnt a biggy if its small dents in the pipe thanks. sorry im typing with a cast on my arm.

 

Penetrating oil, a chisel and BFHammer, and some one w/ two working arms! If you can cut a slit in the larger pipe on muffler and peel it back w/ hammer and chisel , keep oiling it...

 

I use a sawzall. Goes through like butter.

 

I agree, me too! You should read his post it says w/o heat or saw...Poor bastard he'll be there forever...

 

You might be able to rent/borrow a removal tool. It's basically two pipe clamps and a threaded rod inbetween to extert a pushing force to push the pipe/muffler off.
Almost like this;

thanks and i forgot to mention i already have the driver side pipe of while trying to remove before it cracked as started dragging so i just pulled the rest of the pipe of along with the sleeve that's still stuck on the pipe. and i noticed that the pipe runs THRU the muffler so if i can get the muffler off and the new 1 on will i be fine with just clamping it in the sleeve or will i need the 2 pipes welded back together. i can get pics if its unclear sounding.

 

thats cool i'll see if anyone has 1 if my first plan doesnt work. thanks.

 

you could use this

I use em in the junkyards where there's no electricity. Doesn't cut like butter, more like wood. It's like a chainsaw blade but works like a plumbers tubing cutter with a lot more cutting blades.
