I tried to install a VRSF catless downpipe over the weekend but my plans were foiled by a very mean and evil person at the BMW plant who decided to tac weld the lower clamp to the exhaust.

Any suggestions on what to do? I do not really want to use a cutoff wheel because I then run the risk of gashing the exhaust.

If I loosen the clamp all the way, should I be able just to push the stock downpipe up so the smaller end of the downpipe is freed from the exhaust?
