I cut the rubber things on the hangers and then I took a cutting wheel and cut the outlet pipe towards the muffler then took a flat head screw driver and opened up the cut so the pipe spread open and wiggled and beat the hell out of the muffler till it was super loose but still it wouldn't come off so I took a tie down strap put it on the tail pipe and Hooked the other end to a car and floored it in reverse make sure you put your parking break on or your truck will move that happens to me even tho it was in park I pulled my truck half a foot at least
