Today I began removing the exhaust pipes. I started at them with brute force...didn't really work. So i realized that I had to remove a couple large bolts which held the pipes in place and that made removal much easier. When I started to rotate the left exhaust pipe (needed to remove it) it split in half and rust poured onto the floor. Nice. The picture below shows the left exhaust pipe in two pieces...with a pile of rust nearby.
