There are two types of exhaust systems. One is the flange type where the component ends are attached with bolts and a gasket in-between. The other exhaust system is the slip joint type. These components slip into one another using clamps to secure them together.
CAUTION
Allow the exhaust system to cool sufficiently before spraying a penetrating oil on exhaust fasteners. Some solvents are highly flammable and could ignite when sprayed on hot exhaust components.
Before removing any component of the exhaust system, always squirt a liquid penetrating oil onto the fasteners for ease of removal. If you have the time, spray the fasteners and allow them to soak overnight.
| Nuts and bolts will be extremely difficult to remove when deteriorated with rust
