WD-40 is your friend. Since you are up in NY, your stock exhaust might be rusted from the salt they put on the roads in the winter, so hose down your bolts with WD-40. Also it helped to lubricate the rubberholders with WD-40 so it will slip out easier. It also helped to have a friend hold up the exhaust, but it can be done alone too. Good luck and have fun.

Put the car on a lift. More leverage for breaking bolts loose.

Is it a Catback or Axleback? Axle, cake. Cat, get a friend to help. Will be lot smoother
