Ok, got all the bolts loosed up to the cat & now im getting ready to tackle the exhaust hangers to the muffler. There is a total of 3 hangers. Two of these hangers have bolts, which should be easy to remove, but the 3rd hanger does not have any bolts to un-do at all. My question is, how do I take this one off? Ive looked all around that stupid buger and cant find any sort of bolt, and I dont want to destroy it either.

Isn't it just a donut? Spray some wd40 on it and slide the stock exhaust through.

If you're talking about the hanger by the rear passenger side tire just take the tire off and pull the hanger off.

it's going to need some elbow grease. Like they said, spray some WD-40, move it around and pull!

Lube it and slide it off!

My method is not ideal, but I used a flathead screwdriver to help with a little prying. It didn't damage the hanger and I was able to get the muffler off the hanger after a little bit of work.

pull the black piece hanger from the tire side (reach around the tire). pull hard and it will come off
which makes it easier to remove it from the exhaust itself

I tried muscle at first.. didnt work. Tried WD-40 and it way like using a personal lubricant, it slid right off! Thanks.

will the stock bolts fit on the aftermarket exhaust parts ( like WORKS downpipe etc. )?

The bolts may fit but you should always use the hardware that comes with the exhaust part itself for proper fitment.

agreed, too bad I bought the part used and didn't come with the WORKS bolts. I guess I'll see if the stock ones fit from my IX.
