Removing the right side bracket or at least lowering it will make removal
and reinstallation easy. As it is difficult to get to the cat to muffler
bolts with it all in place I usually remove it with the Cat and swap the cat
to the new muffler and then put it back together in one shot.

Well, it's almost out.  A little sawzall, a little dremel, a little
angle grinder....   It's separated from the Cat, and the straps are
off.  Do I need to remove the bottom half of the muffler brackets?
