Need help with exhaust work...removing custom cat back...

Ok, our first attempt at switching our exhaust systems is detailed here. I got a tool that should solve my stripped nut on the cat problem (or at least the wise old man at Home Depot told me so). What would be the best way to remove my exhaust piping after I get it unbolted from the cat? I'm going to be working on it in a garage using jackstands. Keep in mind that the exhaust system after the cat is one piece (its custom 2.25" piping with an Arospeed muffler welled on at the end). Is it possible to just slide it all out through the rear? I don't know if it will fit past the rear sway bar? Or past the rear bumper. Any suggestions guys? I have some good pics that might help in my member's ride section.

Well, all I can say is keep in mind once you unbolt it you might be able to slide it out forward instead of the whole thing out the rear?? You'll need to take a look at this. You just might have to cut it... Good luck though.
