Anybody have any suggestions on how to get the bolt of now....I'm thinking of just going to a muffler shop & paying them to do-- (I hate paying some greasehead for something I could've done but it just wont budge).....

If you are so sloppy and careless, Dremel will be your best friend.

Fahgetaboutit.....I couldnt get it off....so went to my local merlins muffler & made a deal w/ the service guy that I'll give him $30 cash no receipt if he took the bolt off & installed my muffler-- he said sure no prob. --Hey it beats buying that angle grinder for $90 & doing it myself I now have a new exhaust installed
