Getting a 182 exhaust off

[Pritch]

Hey guys

Was just wondering what the best way of taking my standard 182 exhaust off is?

It is currently unnattached to the car but I can't get it past the rear beam. Is it a big job to drop the rear beam enough to give me the clearance I need? Or am I better off cutting the exhaust and taking it off that way?

I've got a Milltek I bought off escotty on here so I don't need the old exhaust but thought someone might be glad of it as it isn't in bad nick if I could keep it in one piece.

just cut it, much easier.

i did mine the other day but luckily it had already had a new center section so was only held together with a sleeve joint.

Cheers, was thinking that was the likely answer but just wanted some confirmation.

Just jack it up with a piece of wood under the jack to get a little higher, slides over the beam no prob (when it's been dropped obv).

take the rear bumper off

it comes off in 1 piece fairly easily, with the bumper on but the rear axle lowered down (2 18mm bolts)
