ok heres the deal my exhaust system is welded together as one peice, and i can only unbolt it from the headers but the tailpipes are welded to the mufflers and the mufflers are welded to the x-pipe and i need to remove the tranny to do a clutch install.

Normally i would just unbolt the crossmemeber bolts and let the tranny drop down a bit but since i cant do that some kind of way im gonna have to slide the tranny out through the front(toward engine).

Any suggestions on removing it? If i had some type of cutting tool handy I just cut the tails off and have them put back on later but i dont so eh...

maybe someone else can tell you what you want to hear but in my opinion you need to go to the store and buy a hacksaw. mine is the same way i had to cut mine to install shorty headers because they were in a bind muffler shop welded it back in place for $5. anyways i put you back on top of threads and goodluck.
