It's welded in, gotta cut. If you can get room hacksaw will work fine, may go through a couple blades since it stainless steel.

If you unbolt it and unplug the rear O2 sensor, There is only 4 rubber hangers left and you can drop the whole exhaust and grag it out from under the car. Then you can cut it where you want with whatever you want.

Why are you wanting the converter off?

Well def show the $115 receipt you got, please. And there's more metals than just Platinum. Never ever heard of more than $50 for a big Cat convertor for scrap. Prove me wrong, Haro!!!!
