Default exhaust help

im trying to remove the factory catback to put on an slp loudmouth i just ordered. im trying not to cut the factory exhaust, so is there anyway i can get the old one off without cutting it? i also dont have a lift, just a jack and ramps. i heard taking off the swaybar helps but i wasnt sure if that was the whole problem. thanks guys

I had to lift the rear of my C5 at least 39 inches, which required placing a few 6x6 chunks of lumber on the hydraulic floor jack - very precarious scenario! That + removing the right sway bar connection allowed me to lift the right side pipe over the axle.

thanks for the help, got the stock off with only a few minor problems lol
didnt have to get it off the ground too high, put 1 4x4 on top of my jack that goes up to 24" and that was enough. jacked up right under the rear.

Glad to hear! I guess I took my car up a bit higher than was necessary.
