Steve,
I also had the same problem when I went to install my Gibson Split rear. No
amount of wiggling and pulling will separate the muffler from the exit pipe
of the cat. My instructions had me cut the exit pipe from the cat in front
of that tab. Is your instructions the same?

Subject: DML: Stock Exhaust Removal Blues
Last night, I started to install a Gibson Dual Sport exhaust. In the
process of
trying to remove the stock muffler, I have reached an impasse.
The muffler will "wiggle" back and forth and will rotate somewhat (I bent
back
the edges by the cutout for the tab on the pipe from the cat). I have used
a
propane torch to heat it and broke a screwdriver (I know, the right tool for
the
right job) trying to pry the muffler off.
It seems that the crimp from the stock clamp has slightly flared (compared
to
the crimp) the edge of the pipe going into the muffler. Any suggestions on
how
to get the @#$&*! thing off?
