- if you don't intend to save the exhaust pipe (due to corrosion), use
- a chisel and hammer at the connecting point, careful not to harm the

- and also, if you are going to use some old parts, such as the muffler,
- an exhaust pipe expansion tool is necessary to get an easy, good fit
- with the new pipes.
