catback removal ?

[the98stang]

Hey guys I got the H pipe off after one hour lol..

Now it's time for the catback. Can the pipes go around the axles or will the mufflers HAVE to be cut? I borrowed a recip. saw from a friend but I think the damn blades are made for wood because they won't cut through the muff metal! I can get new blades tomorrow or try to get the pipes around the axles tonight. Thanks!

You can remove the pipes without cutting by dropping the rear axle. If you have a hacksaw avail, it should do the job.

what do you mean by dropping the rear axle? the jack stands are on the frame and the axle dropped down a good amount. Will the pipes clear it?

i just now thought of this and i don't know if it will work but if you can lift the caar high enough it should be able to slide right out and under. Shouldn't it i could be wrong and i know you prbly don't have a lift but it may be a solution.

When I did the GT, I backed it up the ramps first. The n supported the side I was going to work on with a jack and then raised it enough to take all the weight of the shock and quad without having the wheel come off the ramp. Unbolted the quad and shock and raised that side until I could get the CB over the axle. then lowered the body until the bolt holes lined up and bolted it all back together. rinse repeat for other side.
