Cat-Back Install?

Is there a trick to getting the stock over-the-axel pipes off? I managed to wiggle/twist/pound out the driver's side pipe, but I'm stuck on the passenger's side. I've got the rear axel on jack stands and used the jack to lift the car up to let the axel hang down. I'd prefer to leave the pipe whole.

Thanks

The pipe shopuld slip right out once the axle is lowered enough. Remove the brake hose bracket from the chassis and see if that allows you to drop the axle a little further.

I finally got it. I jacked the car up a little higher and lifted the body a little higher a squeaked it out. It was a pain getting the stock exhaust out, but the GMS system sounds awesome!

Do you have a link to the GMS Mid Pipes?? What is the size ? Are they all mandrel bent and the same size as stock?

They are mandrell bent and have a lot less bends than the stock pipe. I was surprised that the stock mandrell bent pipe had as many turns and flattened out spots as it does.
