Help with exhaust uninstall/install
I will be chaning out my DP and HFC for a different DP and test pipe, but will leave the cat back currently on it.

My question is, during the removal, the cat back section is connected to the hfc without gasket, just RTV. How hard are they going to be to seperate? How do you suggest to seperate the pieces?

Thanks in advance!

Ok, great. I just wasn't sure how sticky and solid the RTV was going to be. The RTV has only been on for about 5k miles so it's not like it is aged.

shouldn't be hard to pull apart at all. Screwdriver will do it.
