Im helping a friend remove his exhaust off his 2002 z28. I looked at it today and I was wondering what the quickest way to remove it from the Y pipe back was, any links to some instructions? It seems like its going to be a bitch where it goes over the rear end.Also there is a really rusted bolt that is being stubborn any ideas on how to get it off before I go get my friends impact gun tried wd40 and didnt work

 

disconnect the clamp on the I-pipe from the muffler and disconnect at opposite end. jack the back of car into the air and allow the rear to drop all the way and just try to fish it out

worst case scenario, bust out the sawzall

 

Try some PB Blaster and a bigger wrench on the bolt.

But Like Alex said, Jack the back of the car up to fish it out.

 

Dont be a pussy and cut it off!

 

use a torch on the nut and heat it till its red hot so that it expands and then use impact it will come right off. try to keep the heat off the bolt as much as possible and be sure to clean all wd-40 off first

 

on my old camaro I had to take the torque arm off. not sure if that whats it's called but the arm that goes at a 45 degree anlge from one side to the other with the back jacked up also made it real easy

 

Nope the torque arm runs from the differential to the tranny.
I foget the name of that of which you are referring to.

 

panhard bar probably.

 

I said to sawzall the bitch, but he has a warranty and would like to keep the stock exhaust in one peice lol.

 

lol that bitch boy will never actually take it off
