Stock Muffler Removal
Anybody know how to remove the inlet pipe from a stock muffler ('97 TA). I'm trying to remove my stock exhaust in order to install a new Magnaflow catback and I was hoping to save the stock exhaust, so I don't want to cut the pipe in front of the muffler if I don't have to. I loosened the clamps and the muffler is loose on the inlet pipe, but just won't come off. There must be something holing it on, but I don't know what. Any ideas? Thanks.

There is a small groove where the clamp was, and you have not spread the muffler inlet back open to normal size, so that it why it just spins. If you cut the pipe, cut it in a place where there is a straight area, that way if you want to sell it, the next guy just has to buy a sleeve to slip over the cut area with two clamps.
