Default Exhaust PITA help!

Ok so i finally got the header to h-pipe bolts off. Started to take off the small pipe that connects to smog. (the silver pipe) Got all the clamps off. Tried to remove it from the h-pipe and it would not come off. So I took a small hacksaw and went at it for 30-45 min and got each side off after the clamp part ( the section that connect directly to the h-pipe. [:@][:@]Then I removed the h-pipe. Sprayed PB Blaster all over the connection and for the life of me could not get it off! How can I get this off??

Oh and I did all this with the car on jackstands!! [:@]

Yeah it goes to the smog pump. I don't have the smog pump spinning because I use a short belt. But If I have to goto emmisions I will have to put the normal belt on. Getting pic now.

Can I just take the entire pipe off and just take off all the emissions crap? I could register the car at my parents house in florida(no emissions)
