Default Need Test Pipe Install - Sacramento, CA area

I just got my Helix SS test pipes recently and i was planning it as a DIY project with a few buddies. However, some of the upper bolts are impossible to get to with our impact wrench. Is there anyone in the area who has done this before and could help, or is there anyone who has performed this DIY project before and can give a few tips that will solve our problem?

Do you have any other tools besides the impact wrench?

I think I just used a regular wrench, cause that's the only thing I had that could fit up there. Put some elbow grease into it.

but those bolts were on so tight even the impact wrench could barely get them off - i doubt we could have used just a wrench but i guess we'll give it a shot.

I was able to get them off using the regular wrench but it did take a lot of force. Some bolt location, I ended up using a shorter wrench because of the limited space.

It will come off, use some WD40 and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
