ok so i got some used slp to switch with my current flowmasters. I went to take off the flowmasters and it would not come off. First off I want to know how to tell if they are welded or not. Honestly I just think they are so corroded and wd40 would prob be the solution. I never did any thing with exhaust before so I'm clueless. Also its pretty rusty and flaky, so this probably means its not welded right? any tips greatly appreciated.

i would say wd40 and some force. Hopefully there not welded but if they are you will see like a bead like look on the metal that is raised a little bit.

I cant imagine them being that tight. try some PB blaster(works better than WD40) and try to wiggle the flowmasters back and forth till they start to come off.

Did they have a clamp on them?

How about I just take the SLP's off your hands then you don't have to mess with them? Sorry couldn't resist.

+1 on the PB Blaster and some force.

Unless whoever put in the Flowmasters had them welded??

ya there is a clamp, thats why i was pretty sure they werent welded, although some people get creative. I just wasnt sure because of how freaking tight they were and Im not weak by any means. Tomorrow I will try some WD40 and if not I will try the PB Blaster. Hopefully if i do get to this tomorrow I will do a video of flowmasters and slp to add to the youtube collection of exhaust.

Spray some PB Blaster where the pipes slide together. Let it sit for a few them try pulling and twisting the muffler off...
