    96 xp pipe removal

    Hi guys! can anyone tell me how to get the the pipe out of a 96 xp/787 without splitting it? I hate realigning those things. The engine compartment is pretty tight and the pipe doesn't seem to want to come out in one piece. Will it come if I put the exhaust manifold also? Thanks in advance.
