I cant get the bolts on it to break lose. I need to remove my cat so i can go get a straight pipe made up. The bolts on the exhuast came of easy but not those. Ive used every penetrating oil i could find and nothing loosens them enough for me to break them lose. Sorry just venting a little https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

i got it off now just had to borrow a socket to use on my 1/2 rachet instead of using my 3/8 rachet. Popped right off after that all i got now is 2 more bolts and im done.

get a torch, it makes dealing with exhaust bolts a breeze.

hit it with wd-40 and torch it, let it kewl a bit and immediatley spray more wd-40 on it, let it sit for about an hour and they will come right off, works every time

I dont know after i got the right sized socket to use on my bigger rachet it was easy. No need to use a torch for me. But here it is after i got it off.

dont throw it out.



My exaust wears a suit, not a shirt.

I went out and moved the car this morning(exhuast still off). Sounded good when it first came to life then while waiting for it to warm up it got kind of annoying. When i got in to move it the exhuast vibrations had the whole car shaking i got a free massage from sitting in the seat. Oh and of course since my neighbor had to come out and look at what was going on i did a few 4k revs. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif I might drive around the neighborhood later.
