Muffler repl. 700 86

I’ll be replacing the muffler on my 740T soon.

Any tips on how to “pull” the muffler off the

exhaust pipe once the clams are removed ?

By the way, I hate that design. I prefer the systems

with a flange / gasket. Much easier.

Use BF torch. Preferably oxyacetylene, heat pipe red hot and they come apart.

BTW, I generally skip the resonator or rear muffler and just put a straight piece of 2.5 inch pipe to the back with a chrome tip or twin slant pipe tipe. Use a reducer to get from 2.5 to whatever the stock pipe is, what, 2 1/4.

The first muffler behind my cat appears to be part of a welded pipe/muffler assembly so I just replace the entire system from the cat back sans the rear resonator.
