Hi,
I've managed to pull the entire stock exhaust ('74 TR6) from the downpipes
to the stock muffler out through the cruciform plate section of the frame,
but it's actually easier the "other way" as you have to push "less" pipe
length through the frame opening.
But the overriding question is, and sorry to be blunt, why?
If you had to hack the pipes to get things out, then you should really
think about replacing the pipes. This is exhaust. Dirty, nasty and
potentially fatal exhaust. You should make sure that the exhaust will
function properly and reliably for as long as possible. Patching the pipes
together is not the way to achieve either proper function or reliable
service. Used exhaust systems never make a good basis for welding. Ever.
I guess the point is, with complete new bolt-in exhausts costing well
under $300, and if you only need the intermediate and rear pipes that
should cost a heck of a lot less than that, why screw around? You get new
metal and if you install it properly, you can / should be able to take it
apart should you need to service the various bits in the future.
I'd just replace the pipes. It's a lot less "complicated" in the long run.
Regards,
rml
