An exhaust comes apart in a fixed order and each stage needs its own tool. The pipe is cut, the hangers are released, the clamps are undone and the system is held up while all of that happens. Missing the last one is how a section drops onto the floor. Working out of that order is usually what turns a straightforward replacement into a struggle.
Cutting method depends on access. A chain cutter wraps round the pipe and works where there is no room to swing anything. A ratcheting cutter turns in short strokes. Cutting pliers at 19 to 83mm nip through thinner pipe in one operation. A pipe that has to be cut in situ also has to be cut square, or the replacement section will not seat against it.
Hangers and clamps are where most of the time goes. Hanger removal pliers at 285mm stretch a rubber off its pin without cutting it, and spring clamp removal tools cover the sprung clamps on VAG systems that no plier will compress by hand. Doughnut pullers and exhaust puller tools separate a joint that has corroded rather than levering it apart.
Supporting the system matters throughout. A support stand at 750kg holds the exhaust while sections are separated, so nothing hangs on a joint that is being worked on. Replacement mounting rubbers are held for what does not survive removal.
