I picked up a Corsa cat-back exhaust system for my '06 Tahoe from a local junkyard for $50. Can I get the stock cat-back off intact or will it take a cut or two to get it off?

cut it 4" - 6" behind muffler with this or any saw you have access to.

$50? That's quite the deal you picked up!

Not sure about the stock system, I'm about ready to find out myself how hard it's going to be to remove. Got a Magnaflow system in transit, hoping to have it for the weekend.

I'm hoping that if I do have to cut the stock system to get it over the rear axle that I can find a straight place to cut it in case I ever want to put the system back to stock, then it would be a simple coupler to put it back together.

Cut it 4-6" behind muffler, Lift rearend via frame or tow hitch, makes it simple to get rear pipe section out in one piece.
