Cutting a V Exhaust - Possible?

Guys,

Is cutting an v exhaust possible (for shipping) or is the intact exhaust the only way to go. I fount the below string that talked about installing but im asking if anyone has set a standard position to cut an exhaust to reinstall later or am i asking for more trouble than its worth? Or is this a normal occurance and can point me in the right direction.

Some members have had their v exhaust cut for shipping purposes. So I assume it can be done and welded back up

I want a v exhaust cut and only want the mufflers myself. Should be doable but would cost more on install.

is there any critical point that should be cut vs another?

or should not be cut?

Maybe you could cut at the front of the resonator, the back of the resonator, and before the mufflers? I am no expert on such things, hopefully this photo helps. That might make the package small enough to ship.

Keep in mind, the exhaust is 13' long and 5' wide as a single assembly. It's a huge, huge part! I doubt the cost to cut it up and then ship it works out in the end, but I wish you the best of luck and hope this helps.
