i bought a complete exhaust off ebay. i had a header that had a vance and hines supersport pipe. its held on by 2 springs. the header i got on ebay doesnt have springs. it has like a muffler clamp thing on it, also the new one has a big square on the bottom. my old header doesnt have that...??? anyways i loosened up the clamp and still cant seperate the muffler!! is it tack welded on the inside or something?

 

wow nobody on here has an answer for me? damn sounds like im gonna have a hard time with this! haha

 

Post a picture. My internet vision is broken right now so you will have to help out.

 

The "new" one is a stock pipe, at least the square is...that is where the rubber bumper for the optional centre stand goes. Loosen the clamp and then tap it a few times with a soft faced hammer. There is a gasket that sticks the two pipes together like glue. Separating them takes some twisting and tapping in my experience.

 

hmm i tried it with a rubber mallet and like i said it wouldnt even spin with a 2foot pipe wrench. it actually started to crush the pipe!! well if i can find someone to give me a inspection sticker with my loud *** exhaust ill just cut it off and weld the v&h on it

 

Mine was a real pain too. The gasket will break up sooner or later.

 

use some heat, propane torch FTW
