Use a tubing cutter or a hot wrench (torch). That's pretty cool that you have a computer under your car by the way.

I removed the y-pipe and s pipe all at the same time. Much easier to cut outside the car....of course I ran an open y pipe down to the exhaust shop because I got a catco installed at the same time.

i just made 2 cuts. i cut after the over axle pipe to drop the muffler... and i cut RIGHT before the over axle pipe. then i just unscrewed the connectors and slid it out.. i had to remove that black thing which supports the i pipe tho.. had no problem at all

It does....but there is no low end torque and it shook my car at anything over 2K RPM.

what u need to do is torque them down real good the first time. (always carry around an 11mm open end wrench with you) then drive around for about 15 min. put on some heat retardent gloves, and retorque them. do this periodically for the next week or so.
i retightened mine 5 times a day for 7 days.. now i cant budge them :D

My bolts are 7/16". But I did the same...just keep retightening them after every drive for a week. I found I could move them some still after a 5 hour drive.
