Trying to remove my muffler to bring them to the muffler shop but I am stuck! Need help guys!

So I started on the driver side - removed the three bolts holding it to the mounting place and the two bolts holding the inlet pipe. Couldn't jimmy it out. So removed the two long bolts holding the mounting bracket to the exhaust and that's out. Can't get it out. So undid the small bracket holding the bumper to the chassis but still can't get enough room. The muffler is too beefy and getting caught on the other pipes. I even took off the exhaust tips to have more room for wiggling...

Any help appreciated. Car is still in the garage on jack stands.

never mind - I took the bumper bracket completely off and that allowed the bumper to come out nice and easy.

 

I removed the rear bumper entirely. It's really easy to do and gives you plenty of access to the mufflers.

 

With the bumper metal bracket it was really easy to do as well i am surprised it isn't mentioned more.
