Just replaced the flexpipe only on an exhaust with 150k miles. I should have done the entire cat back but was being cheap. What I found was that I could get the nuts off of the bolts except for one that went into the middle muffler. So I planned on cutting these flush and drilling them out. The trick tool I used that seperated the flange joints like butter, was a impact chissle. Without this, I'm not sure these rusted connections can be removed to save the old parts. I had been working on the job for hours up until I got the right tools. Also, I tried to push the cut off studs out of the middle muffler's flange and cracked it. Be patient and drill them out. Starting with a small bit and working your way up. A lift and air tools make this an hour job.
