yes, you must cut the over the axle pipe. Just make a smooth cut and reweld it when you are ready to turn the car in

Yes, you'll have to cut it. Try to cut before the axle so you have a good base to slip on an OEM clamp (about $17 or so off the 'Bay) when you return to stock. Otherwise, two 5/8 or 11/16 nuts come loose for the clamp off the DP and you're good to go.

You need to make one cut, as mk4_2.ho mentioned above.
I don't see why a muffler shop couldn't weld the stock pipe back together whenever you get around to re-installing the stock system.

Noone would ever notice a cut over the axle when you go to turn it in...and if they do, who cares? It's back to stock, thats all they'll care about.

Only other way to get it off is to remove the rear axle

Right where that cut is made there are two dimples in the pipe, cut in between the dimples.... Then when you are ready to reinstall, use a OE clamp, P/N 8N0 253 145 for the AWP motor code

In an effort to cut down on production costs, and to add longevity to the factory exhausts, VW decided to make the Mk4 exhaust one piece, mounting them before the rear axle is installed. It's not a big deal to cut it, VW doesn't even make to exhaust available in one piece if it were to be purchased at a VW parts dept.
