Default H-Pipe replacement - Please help !

I'm attempting to install a off road H-Pipe on my '91 LX.
I was thinking BBK but haven't purchased it yet. I would like
some sugesstions on getting the old pipes off without taking
it to a muffler shop. Are there any instructions or tips you
can give me to make this job a little easier ? Right now the exhaust
is all stock except for the Flowmasters which I plan to keep on the car.

Thanks in advance.

you should just be able to soak down all the connecting bolts with bp blaster and get them off without too much trouble, then just throw on the new one and your good to go. it should be connected with all bolts you shouldnt have to cut/weld anything. bbk h is what i have and i like it but you could just get summit brand, believe its practically the same thing only cheaper

Thanks to all for the advice. I do have all the bolts loose.
I haven't taken any out yet. Once they are out is it best to start from the
front at the headers or the rear by the mufflers to get the pipe out
or does it matter? What about the other smaller pipe ? I think it goes to the smog
pump or something.
