Default Pypes Mid-Muffler Install Question

For those of you who've installed the system yourselves, are there any issues with getting the stock over axle pipes out? Is there enough clearance between the pipes, axle, panhard bar and whatever else to get the pipes out without cutting them? I want to keep my stock exhaust intact in case I have a change of heart and want to put it back. Yes, I know the end pipes weren't made for the rear Roush facia but I intend to have them (end pipes) modified anyway to fit the square tips.

Thanks
Joe

I jacked my car up but still had to cut the pipes. OP good luck, hope it works out for you but I doubt you'll want to go back stock after hearing the mid-mufflers.

I was able to get mine out by letting the axle droop as much as possible. Get some tall Jack stands too. because you will need alot of ground clearance to gat the fronnt of the pipes to go low enought to snake them past the axle/panhardbar.
