Has anyone done or know of it can be done - remove the tailpipe in the driveway. Jack up pretty high..... With proper safety precautions obviously

Can be done with the right tools, doesn't have to be jacked to the sky though.

I have pretty much all the tools I'm sure. Just wasn't sure if I need to be like 1, 2 feet off the ground or like 4 lol I never really looked how long the pipe is

What exactly are you removing? Cat back?

1 to 2 feet off the ground? why so high. I lifted mine a few inches put it on jack stands, crawled under with a socket, breaker bar, and a ratchet and pulled mine out. I had to cut it with a sawzall just before the rear beam to get the exhaust out. Literally took less then 15 minutes, and about 15 to install the new catback.....

Without a lift you will have to cut it just before the muffler to be able to remove it. Still fiddle to wiggle the pipe out after for me but you will have to cut it

Also depending on the condition of the nuts and the studs you may need use PB Blaster.

I don't know how high that's why I'm asking. But I'm removing tailpipe so I can cut out n weld in new muffler. I figure it's easier off the car.

it doesn't have to go that high at all. Basically enough to crawl under and unbolt the exhaust. You will need to cut the exhaust just before the rear beam and wiggle it out. Very simple job. Get to it!

Was hoping to avoid cutting till it was all out.

if you don't wan't to cut you have have lift the back high enough to lower the rear beam by disconnecting the rear shocks. I have attempted to do it this way, but was unsuccessful. I could not get the exhaust out without cutting. I honestly don't think there is enough room to get out in one piece with the car jacked up and not on a lift. Maybe someone else has had better luck then I have trying to get it out in one piece.
