Default Test pipe bolts???

Buddy of mine came over and we started installing his Turbo xs test pipes. We started to take off the stock cats but man those bolts are a *****!! They must be freakin welded on or some ****! Anyone else have alot of trouble with them? We are letting them soak over night with some pb blaster and will see in the morning. Any advice is appreciated

You need long extentions, and swivel socket joints because they are awkward.

the top bolt can be reached with and impact gun with extensions, and you can use a smaller impact gun in 3/8 drive and contort into a spot to get the other top bolt, and then all that will leave you with is the bottom one.

thats how i did mine and a buddy of mine
