I had a hell of a time trying to remove the stock exhaust as well, but didn't realize the stock clamp is welded onto the exhaust! I had to put everything back together again and take the car out for a spin to make sure all was well. When you speak of burnoff, I had a scare during my drive...I sprayed WD40 on the stock clamp and the driver's side hanger. I tried to wipe as much of it off as I could before I reassembled everything and when I went driving soon after, I could see smoke coming from my rear tire!!! I was at a stop light and just looked in my side mirror and saw it. Anyway, pulled over right away and had my extinguisher in sight as I checked it out. Turns out the smoke was coming from around where the clamp is. Anyway, it smelled like WD40 also. I kept driving for another 5 miles came home and it's still burning off the WD40!!!

WD40 isn't flammable is it?? My car didn't catch fire so I guess it's a NO. Only when it's being sprayed out of the can? I'm going to try to install the exhaust next weekend and hopefully I won't need to spray it again.
