You Will need like jack stands to get under it depending on stuff! and then cutting it you might be able to pull it off but probably will have to cut it off!

I use Rino Ramps. The ramps made it easy to get the original one off without cutting, otherwise there probably isn't enough room to get the pipe over the rear axle.
Took a little over an hour for a magnaflow si/so cat back.

Exhaust

Put a SISO on my truck last night. About an hour. Didn't bother to even put it on jack stands. (4x4 stock). Didn't have to cut the old to get it out. I did find it much easier to unbolt the original hangers from the frame than trying to fight the hangers out of the rubber gromets under the truck. Once out from under the truck they are fairly easy to get off. Good luck. Not really much of a job at all.

Well once I lowerd the spare tire I was able to get the stock system out over the axle with the truck on the ground. I had to cut the pipe going into the muffler to get it out. I had no problem with the channel locks popping the hangers out of the rubber gromets. Took me about 2 hours because I was using a hack saw to cut the pipe, and then had to use a dremel tool to split the pipe to get it to come off. I have to go get either a new clamp or weld the turn out section because the clamp doesn't hold it on. Thinking about trying a band clamp, or just having it welded at an exhaust shop. thanks for all the help.
