Exhaust hose removal on Super Sport/SAN/OG210

[TRIP]

I need to check the riser/manifold so am trying to get the exhaust hose off of it. Any tips?!
Looks like there's not enough space to move it either way to slide it off, and bending it enough to get it off I definitely don't see happening.
Take the muffler (vertaflow or whatever it's called?) off?
Or am I missing something...?
Thanks!

If I remember correctly, when I pulled mine off, I actually unbolted the riser and then pulled and twisted the riser to get the hose off.

Might help to loosen the exhaust hose from the bottom of the muffler and the other side so, that the muffler can move alittle bit.

Cheers, that worked. Did damage the muffler a liiitle bit, but got it done. Without the desired result though, will have to take risers and manifolds off next. Mehh.
