Just cut off the hanger, and replace it with something when your done.

ok so while a grinder would work, and how i'd so much LOVE to use one right now. what am i supposed to do when i put the same exhaust back on in like 12 hours? i'm not replacing the exhaust. i just need to remove the rear section to get the fuel tank out.

take a grinder to it and watch the cool sparks fly

Threads like this one are the reason I spend so much more time on r3v than bimmerforums... if you don't feel like cutting it, try putting a jack under part of the exhaust and then remove the hangers... makes it allot easier... unbolt it from the headers and your good.

i'm with this. just replace the whole thing since it's already a rust bucket.

Try bending it a little to help the angle, it should slide out maybe try some WD40 on it so it can slide. When reinstalling bend it back to how it looks now i guess

there's 4 mounting points for the rear section. 2 donuts, 1 bushing like thing, and the clamp to the front section.
i have removed all except the bushing thing. i can't figure out how to get it out. it looks kinda like it would slide out but i couldn't seem to get it out. it's bent at too much of an angle. here's pics of what i'm talking about:

No straps on my muffler...just welded-on mounts...

A combination of the above mentioned methods.
