Up pipe stuck! Help!

Hey guys, so I'm tearin thru a dp/up pipe install and BOOM. Up pipe is stuck. I tried unhooking the motor mounts and jacking the motor but it just keeps lifting my whole car? Anybody know how I can get the lil guy outta there? It still has the EGV connected to pipe, I thought if I got it off, I could jiggle the whole thing out but it's a no go... any tips? I'm so close to Stage II but cant do anything with the stock pipe stuck!!!

Thanks for the advice... local SR people are welcome to come help!

unbolt the pitch stop mount and the passenger side motor mount. Make sure the washer is not stuck on it. Slightly start jacking it up with a piece of wood between the jack and the exhaust manifold and it should move up.
