[Vwdiesel] tips for removing exhaust? - non-vw

[Val Christian]

If I understand correctly, you have two concentric pipes.
Use an impact chisel and screwdriver, die grinder/whatever, to 
colapse the inner pipe, and extract it by radius reduction.

I've also used a gas cutting torch to start the process.
