The boys at Redlands Rv are replacing the muffler on my LXi. They are telling me that they would need to remove some of the goat railing to remove the preforated plate. They are under the impression that the muffler has to be removed from the top. I was not aware that the muffler could not be removed from the bottom. They are saying the preforated plate cannot be removed without removing the goat rail

They are asking me to allow them to cut the railing and repair it. Otherwise they would have to remove a long section of the goat rail.
I don't want to do that if it isn't necessary.
Will someone comfirm that the muffler has to be removed from the top?
Or Please explain the procedure on how best to replace the muffler.

EDIT! Edit! They sent me a photo of the preforated plate. It is not the goat rails! It is the corrugated walkway running over about 4"s of the preforated plate. Should I let them cut out a section of the corrugated walkway or is thery another way to get the preeforated plate off so they can get to the top muffler hanger?
