replacing exhaust hose?
I'm replacing the silent thunder box on my 271fastec with regular tips & mufflers. I removed/destroyed the exhaust hose between the tailpipes & the transom tips. When I go to put the new hoses on, is it easier to do if I take the tailpipes off the exhaust manifolds?? I'm running the EMI thunder exhaust with the stainless riser/tailpipe so if taking the them loose from the manifolds is easier than I need to have some new gaskets sent on the double. Any tips will be greatly apreciated!

Thanks for the info! I had the EMI exhaust insatlled last winter & they used a heavy duty wire reinfored hose that was a bugger to cut off. I had to use bolt cutters to clip the wire. I ordered new hose with the new tips & it doesn't look to be embedded with wire. Would vasaline be a good choice of lubebricant to slide the new hose up the tailpipes?
