Removing Y Pipe

Need to replace the cat on my Sonoma to weld a new one in. Can the y-pipe be removed after raising the truck on jack stands/ramps? My truck is a 4.3 auto if it matters.

Nope. It will only come out if you unbolt it on the ground and then lift the truck by hand......









Seriously though:
As long as the y pipe isn't routed under the tires, you can use wheel ramps.
I've never seen a y pipe routed outside of the rails or under the rails, so jack stands are a pretty safe bet, too.
