Ok, i need some tips on getting those rusty nuts and bolts off. I already got the piping off (broke it with a mallet and chissel) so I can really get in there and work, but unfortunately, the nuts are just disintegrating. I'm having to use locking pliars, but they're not doing a thing. Any help would be appreciated.

I hear if you get a torch and heat them up really good, they should come off

Mmm, no luck. That stock exhaust was just too rusted. I surrendered and brought it to a shop. (driving with no exhaust from the cat back is pretty anoyying, lol)

That doesn't sound too encourageing for me but maybe I'll have better luck.

So is it on yet? Tell us what you think.
