And planning on doing it was as far as I got. When I put the car up on a lift to start taking the exhaust apart, I couldn't get the two bolts on the cat converter to budge. The one bolt is so corroded that it doesnt even fit in the 14mm socket. I am going to have to break down and take the car to a shop and get them to torch the bolts off. Since i have my cat back on the way, I am going to probably just wait the extra couple of days, and get everything installed in one shot.

 

What you do is you should spray the bolts with a generous amount of Liquid Wrench. Then the bolts will come off with much less effort. This is what I did to get them off when I was installing my y-pipe. Good luck!

 

get PB blaster spray it on and let it stay for 15mins. then you good, if not torch the bich

 

wd-40!!!!!

 

PB blaster the night before if possible. Then again 20-30 min before doing the job. If that doesn't work, go for a short ride to warm everything up a bit, and it should come off easy.

I'll be installing mine whenever it decides to stop snowing.

 

well if its super coroded like mine was they either brake off or round off either case i cut my stocker off

 

I am probably going to just cut everything off, and replace the bolts. The corrosion is horrible, but since I will be replacing all of the equipment at once, I am just going to buy all of the new hardware and replace it all. I can't wait to eget out of the northeast!

 

i cut mine off too. just get a little diamond saw grinder and slice thoes ***** off.

 

shop time, not worth the frustration. i paid $15 bucks to get the bolts torched and did the rest myself.
