An easy way to get exhaust sections apart?
What's the easiest way to get exhaust sections, held together and "dimpled" with U bolts, apart without destroying sections or cutting them apart with a sawsall?<br><br>The biggest mistake I made when installing my Jardine 4" was using the U bolts instead of stainless band clamps to hold the system together. I'd like to remedy that situation. <br><br>Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yep, once you've crimped the pipe with the guillotine style clamps, your only recourse is the "Blue-Tip-Wrench"<br><br>Ed

Did mine with a pneumatic grinder with a cutting disk on it. I put 4 cuts about 3-4 inches long, parallel with the pipe where the clamp used to be. Used a big screwdriver (I know, I know ... right tool for the job) to pry it loose. Worked like a charm.<br><br>PISTOL

"Slitting" the pipe will work.<br>A combination of heat and the slits will make it slide apart fairly easy. <br><br>
