Ok so as some of you know i'm changing my exhuast... i can't the the god dam older muffler to come off the midpipe. I've got the bracket unbolted, i've tried spraying it with pb blaster, banging it with a hammer, using a prybar (turnedout to be a major fail), and pulling as hard as i can from the back. Is there some sort of trick to getting it off? It's REALLY starting to piss me off
Dam muffler will not come off!!!

Wow, i was thinking the tailpipe was stuck in the muffler. That fitting in the picture should fall right off. If not, id hit it perpendicular to the pipe about 3" away from the flange with a BFH. Make sure that the exhaust hangers on the back are not holding it in place first.

I tried it a few times till my dad caught me... then he yelled at me and said if you **** it up your paying for it... at which point i realized i dont have the money so i stopped. Tomorrow he wants to heat the **** out of it and try twisting it with a pair of those big dumb ass pliers

I say you shoulda left the length on there. Leverage is your friend in this situation. I woulda been shanking that thing in every direction. Up down side to side, and kicking the living hell outta it. Toss on some heavy rubber soled boots and go at it. Get a big deadblow hammer too. I doubt you're gonna bend anything with swift hard kicks like that.
Finesse isn't always the answer, and ya gotta use brute force and pound beers and curse a lot.
