Dismantling - Exhaust

One of the most satisfying systems to remove was the exhaust. The exhaust typifies the pollution that internal combustion engines produce, as well as the noise that they make. I was pretty brutal with the exhaust removal. I put a metal-cutting blade on the circular saw, and had at it. This was pretty fun. It's important to keep safety in mind when doing this sort of work. Remember to wear eye protection and verify that the vehicle is securely raised up.
