OMG!!!!!! i never thought off that;)

[kicken250x]

but seriously tho take like rubber mallet and and a normal hammer with a rubber or wood handle and put it up to the back of your silencer like where the pipe goes into it and it the head of the metal hammer with the mallet but make sure you have someone else there to hold the pipe strait so no to bend it... if i need to explain more i can

haha..thanks...but im tryin to help a friend....he has tried every thing i know of.. and i have been around to learn a few tricks...lol

[kicken250x]

if it is a 400 then that is the only way i know of but if it is something else then take the whole system out and beat the ***** out of it lol

[Pappy]

haha...i dont think he gonna beat on a $500 exhaust...but he might..lol

ok ,..try this .
SOAK connection w/penetrating oil

warm up machine til it is almost overheatin ,..stop.
while its hot ..
place block wood at muffler side ..(to keeep from mashing it)..
..smack it pretty hard ..dont mash it ......
(if possible, someone could be .. twistin & pullin at same time )
work it evenly ..so it does not get cocked on there...
repeat ,repeat ..
gotta come loose evntualy..be patient ..

if this does not work..

try coolin w/ice on inlet side to
shrink (maybe).. pipe goin into it after it is warm( not real hot)

KEY here is ..patience !!!

good luck bro's

ok we pulled it, beat it with hammers, heated it up, tried that lube stuff but its to tight to get in i think....kenny im gonna try ur idea from last night using the screw driver i hope it works cause im gettin so pissed off that soon im gonna use a new idea...break out the chain saw :eek:

[kicken250x]

how the he!! did u get it on there?

If everything, everything posted above fails. You could Hole-Saw it out, just to get it out, but it will be ruined. Typical sizes around 1 3/8 ". Dont know if that's a possible solution for your prob or not, but it's another idea.

well...he is gonna have to use a dremel and cut two slices up the silence pipe. then we can use a regular exaust clamp like on my LRD
