Exhaust removal questions (worth saving?) - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

RussMcB · 07-22-2015

I'm removing my original '91 exhaust to replace it all with aftermarket parts. The top two bolts behind the cats are tough to access and I haven't been able to break them loose yet.

1) Any suggestions for the best tools to use to get to them? I have a fairly good selection, but no success yet. I may run out to buy some wobble extensions to see if they might help.

- or -

2) Any reason why I can't just cut the pipes and be done with it? Is there a chance this 25 year old exhaust might have some value to someone some day? I hope to never use it again ever and I'd rather not store it for years only to eventually throw it away.

Thanks.
