200x exhaust removal

[newby200x]

Anybody have any tips or tricks for removing a stuck exhaust? Mine is seized pretty good. Already snapped head studs off and the head pipe doesn't budge at all. Thanks.

Start it up and let it run until its up to operating temperature. Should come right out once its hot. Good luck with those head bolts :)

Good luck getting the head studs out if the broke off flush..I snapped mine off when replacing my exhaust on my 85 200X and never did get them out.

Didnt snap them off flush but im sure they wont come out easy. Already drove around the block a few times and that thing doesn't budge. I have it soaking in wd40 right now, hopefully no power tools will have to be used to get this thing off.

Use kroil or pb blaster and let it soak for two or three days (I prefer kroil). Use a dead blow and light tapping on the head pipe to work it off the head.
