OEM exhaust
you can un bolt it before the muffler and get it out from under the truck in 1 piece but you will have to jack the truck up pretty high, and probably take off the tire. also would help if you unbolt the shocks on the top and let the axle droop all the way down (jack stands under frame)
one more tip, unclamp the exhaust on the front clamp then slide it out, once that is out you will see there is a notch that keeps you from pulling that section of pipe off from the muffler unless if you were to rotate it up towards the body(but there isnt enough room)
I have unbolted one from a 4x4 and just pulled it out by just jacking up the frame a little bit

Most of these factory "clamped" exhaust systems can be a pain to remove without a lift. Removing the clamps and attempting to slide pipes apart is a pain, as the clamp causes a lip to be formed in one of the pipes, and prevents it from easily sliding apart. It's so much easier to just cut it apart in smaller, manageable pieces when working in your driveway/garage floor and no lift.

Those ramps may come in handy.
Have a torch on hand to separate the mid pipe from the Y pipe.

I have actually seen that video and that's what made me wonder if I could get it out without cutting with the ramps I have. Thanks for the advise
