Need help getting catback apart..

Guys I have my flowmaster catback off and I cant seem to get the two 2.5" sections coming off the muffler off. I have the clamps off and Ive already tried heating them up but the wont budge....any advice? I wanna try to avoid paying someone to do it for me.

Thanks

Have you tried getting a small flathead screwdriver and hammering it between the pipes? You might try heatinig it up and also using this method.

Thumbs up

Try a little heat if you have a torch- should do the trick.
