I'm going to just list the thing for sale as a mechanics special and sell it like it is. I doubt I want to go through all the trouble of jacking all four points of the car up and putting it on jacks as high as I can get it and pulling the entire 200,000 mile exhaust out of the car that is not going to just come off. All nuts are going to strip or break or I'm going to have to cut the bolts all over in order to even remove the exhaust. I don't feel like going through so much trouble, to be honest. I'd rather drop the problem on someone else and buy something else. It's probably an easy job if you have a lift to get the car way off the ground so you have tons of room to work with but the way I'd have to do it putting it on jack stands and having hardly any room to move around because I only have the smaller 2-ton jack stands it will be maxed 16 inches off the ground which isn't even enough room to pull the exhaust out of the car once I drop it I'll have to drop it and work around it at the same time which will be a nightmare. I honestly would rather it be under the intake at least then that's a job anyone can do with very little tools plus changing out some gaskets never hurt anything while you are at it. I would have changed the intake gasket and both the valve cover gaskets while I had it all out of the way. With it have 200,000 miles it needs that anyways. It's just a shame they had to put this one outside of the motor I would have preferred the opposite.

Used to all that, being in the rust belt I get to fight that sort of thing daily. You learn all sorts of torch work and words that turn the sky blue.
