That looks nice but I actually had great luck with WD-40 and a pair of channel lock style pliers. Can’t beat having the “right tool” though, less likely to the rubber hangers. I finally broke down and bought a Lisle oil filter tool a while back ago, money well spent.

I've also successfully used channel-lock pliers and WD-40 in the past. I didn't get anywhere with the one-piece Type R system though. Lots of double hangers, and the front pipe hanger was a Royal PITA even with the tool.

Sounds similar to the 1.5T. I'm glad that will be not be something we have to deal with regularly.

Does the stock exhaust fit inside the car? I will probably want to take it home but the lift is about 50 minutes away.

I changed my system in my driveway so I didn't try. It would probably be easiest to run the exhaust diagonally and stick a bit of the front of the exhaust out of the front passenger window. You definitely want to keep the system, even if just to sell it later.

Okay, how about: If you've never done this and you're doing this on your back on a gravel driveway with 5" of snow on the ground, then the rubber hangers may be stiff enough in the below-zero temperatures to make using a tool designed for the job quite useful.

And - if you work on cars (or aircraft), then you're definitely going to be a lot stronger than I am :yes:.

LOL just when you think you have it bad, someone else has it worse. I digress my friend :). Which by the way I didn't know about this tool, but I sure as hell ordered one on prime myself. So thank you for bringing this contraption to light. I do believe in having the right tool for the right job, and busting your freaking knuckles from yanking these freaking rubber hangers and then call your car degrading names is not the way.

My brother always taught me to use silicone spray on the rubber hangers too.
