Default Remove a rusted backbox?

I would like to remove my old backbox but it has been on for so long, it just wont come off, iv removed the exhaust clamp and tried everything to pull it off and chisel the backbox off but no luck, its definately not welded on

Use a grinder to cut through the outer pipe only, basically extend the slots in the back box
