On my 86 300 E there is about 8"? of that cat pipe (on the one side) up in the center muffler pipe. Bang it a lot and alternatly, mostly twist it (torque it) until it comes loose. You will need a new gasket on that side. I don't know what it is made of (seems like hardened anti-sieze on there and the new one looks like metalic particle board) but it will not survive the removal. Probably replace both gaskets if it is really that old. Good luck, this job is more swearing than smiles.
