Cut the old DP in half and work it up through the top. Then take a pry bar or a air hammer and bend the fire wall up( from bottom) and work the top side down and the bottom side slides right up. It might make it easier to cut the firewall seam in two spots to ease bending of the seam. I'll have a write up on it soon i have customers truck I have to do a exhaust install next week.

do you hafta hammer out the firewall like that for a stock down pipe?
