But i want to keep my stock catback and get it off in one piece. I heard this is impossible and you will need to cut through the piping. I also heard if you have a Lift you can get the catback off just fine. So which one is true? I have access to a lift but not sure when i will be able to use them. So if i can do this myself the sooner ill be able to put my new exhaust on. Also my muffers are welded in. Not sure if that matters. Previous owner this. So is this a problem? thanks __________________ -5-Speed -BBK CAI -UD Pulleys -BBK 70MM TB -Mac O/R H pipe -Trick Flow Plenum -Yokohama AVS ES100 Tires -UPR Blue Thunder Short Throw -Magnaflow Magnapack Catback

I simply cut mine off with a Sawzall. I was like, later bitch! __________________ Current mods: Maximum Motorsports XL Full Length Subframe Connectors Catted Bassani X-Pipe Borla Stinger Catbacks H&R Super Sport Springs MM Bullitt Crew Member #1
