Of the six uppipe jobs I've worked on, one pipe is usually loose enough to pull out without loosening the flange. Once one is out. The Y manifold (baby's butt/ collector) can be removed with the other pipe attached.

I know what you mean Roland. I used the sawzall on the passenger side of a friends truck and when we pulled out the driver side the piece we left in baby's butt just fell out.

You'll want to take the passenger side fender liner out so that when you're tightening things up you have semi-decent access to things.
