midpipe

Hi Guys, I own a 2014-15 RC390 and looking to put a performance exhaust. I bought a second hand Akrapovic slipon with leo vince mid pipe. The guy I bough it from was using that setup on 2017 RC390, i thought the same setup would go on 2014-15 RC390 but I was wrong. The mid pipe fits the header...

What. The. Fuck. I'm trying to remove the OEM exhaust so I can put on the Akra. The bottom forward most bolt is out, but it seems like the exhaust is stuck there. I've got the suspension compressed, the header is completely off the midpipe / cat, and all bolts out. It'll wiggle like crazy...
