"Okay in this next section we're going to go ahead and remove our tail pipe so let?s go ahead and get started on that. We're going to remove our bottom bolts and then we're going to remove our U bracket and take off the whole pipe, the exhaust and the lower pipe. Okay so first we're going to go ahead and take off, there's a bolt right here, we're going to go ahead and take, loosen this, but we're not going to take off the clamp all the way because we are going to reuse it.

Alright so go ahead and squeeze that bolt out and this will be nice and loose and then leave that on there because we're going to reuse it for our new pipe. Okay so now we're going to go ahead and, we've got the bottom pipe moved, we're going to go ahead and take off this whole section.

Alright you can go ahead and take that out and set it in a nice safe spot. Alright so let's go ahead and take off our tail section now. We've got it all loose. There we go. Pull it all the way out to the side and first we're going to wiggle it loose. We don't want to pull it too hard and break anything. There we go. That'll come off just like that. And there is your stock exhaust and go ahead and set that to the side."
