Muffler Delete: DONE!

I pulled off my tail pipe and muffler today, it was a B**ch cause of the clamps that were on it kinda sqished the pipe down, and made it rough to get off. But, I pulled and yanked on her, and the tail pipe and muffler came off together. I cant seem to get the muffler off the tailpipe so i can put the tail back on. Any one got any suggestions? Its squished together real good! Turns out, I have a full stainless steel exhaust! muffler and all. Man, it looks noce and shiny under all that grime! I put my 30" peice of 4" pipe on there, from local muffler shop for 40 bux btw, and left off the tail pipe and drove it earlier tonight. GOOD GAWD does it sound freakin awesome! Holy crap I love hearing the turbo bark down after I let off the gas. I can really hear the turbo sing now. Didnt know it was gonna make it sound this good. Glad I went ahead and did it.

Does any one know how I could slide off my muffler from the other peice? Thanks in advance!

use a screw driver and a hammer to pry the lips off the other exhaust piece - that's what I do.

Yeah, it sounds so good! hehe, my mpg on my computer went from 16.8 today to 13.5 when i got home. Oh well, so much for great gas mileage. I think I would rather have the sound any how. hehehe. I would kinda like to save the muffler if I could, being thats its a nice one, I could sell it to a local boy for a couple of bux. I dont really wanna beat it up too bad, but, whatever it takes to get that tail pipe back on her, I will do it.
