Problem: Article: Cutting through exhaust piping could free up debris stuck on the bottom of the car and expel metal shavings in the cutting process. As a result, eye protection is absolutely mandatory before moving forward. It is also highly recommended that you wear heavy duty gloves to protect your hands from the blades or sharp pieces of metal left remaining after you make your cut. Goggle style eye protection is best for this type of job. They will prevent debris from falling into your eyes from above, below and on the sides. Leather workman's gloves can protect your hands from metal slivers and accidental cuts. If you have access to an exhaust cut off tool, it is the best option when removing a welded or rusted on muffler. An exhaust cut off tool goes all the way around the pipe and leaves a cleaner cut than most saws. Wrap the exhaust cutter around the pipe and move the handle back and forth until you cut through the pipe completely. An exhaust cutting tool works in a more confined space that you can often reach with a hacksaw. You can purchase an exhaust cutter at your local auto parts store. If you do not have access to an exhaust cutter, a simple hack saw will suffice to cut the muffler off of the exhaust pipe. If there is a rusted clamp still in place, cut into the pipe just past the clamp. If there is not, saw through the exhaust piping where it meets with the muffler piping. Make sure to keep your eye protection on throughout this process, otherwise you could get a metal sliver in your eye. Make sure to use a hack saw blade rated for steel. You should not need to use multiple blades to get through the exhaust piping. When using a hack saw, the cramped space may make it difficult to saw through the pipe without hitting anything else. Be extremely careful not to saw through any of the lines on the underside of your vehicle, as they may be for your fuel or brakes. Attempt to move anything to the side that interferes with your clearance when sawing through the exhaust piping. You may have to saw through a different portion and purchase more pipe to extend the reach of the new muffler if you can't saw through the pipe without damaging other things. With the muffler no longer attached to the exhaust piping, the only thing holding it in place will be the rubber muffler mounts. The muffler will have a piece of metal extended through a rubber eyelet attached to the body of the vehicle. Pull the muffler out the back of the vehicle to pull the metal portion out of the eyelet. The end of the piece of metal that goes through the eyelet has a larger diameter than the rest, so you will need to pull hard to get it out. If you tear the rubber eyelet, you can purchase a replacement one at most auto parts stores.
Summary: Put on appropriate safety equipment. Use a cut off tool if available. Use a hack saw to cut through the metal just past the clamp. Be careful not to cut through anything else. Pull the hangers on the muffler off of the rubber muffler mounts.
