In for respray/exhaust off?

[mpk490p]

At last the RX is going in for the engine bay to  be sprayed just have to remove the engine out of the old one so it\'s ready to be dropped in when it come\'s back, it all sounds very easy but i\'m sure it\'s not, does anyone know if you drop the rear axel can you remove the exhaust system with out splitting it?

would have though the exhaust would drop straight off without the axle in there
