[QUOTE="eric61, post: 198188, member: 6089"] I just went through the same drill and had the same problem. I ended up removing the skid plate and heat shield from the right-side gas tank. Once the shields were off, there was more room, and the pipe easily wiggled out through there with a little twist and pull. It goes back in much easier - I guess the angle past the plastic gas tank is less obstructive going in. When I removed the skid plate, the gas tank dropped down a couple of inches and stopped. It didn't appear to be hanging by any wires or pipes. I did jack the tank back up to its original position so it wouldn't interfere with the pipe while I pulled it out and pushed it back in. I also found it easier to remove and replace all the skid plate and heat shield bolts after I unbolted the muffler from the pipe and before I reattached the muffler to the pipe. You should also get new muffler-to-pipe gaskets. [/QUOTE]
