View Full Version : exhaust installing trouble
alright i bought a cat-back system and i got everything off (of the old exhaust) except for the 2 bolts that connect the pipe to the cat. they are so rusted i couldnt get them out even with all of my weight and im afraid to cut it because i need the holes where the 2 bolts are to connect the new exhaust. so what should i do? someone said cut the catylitic converter off, but i dont have a welder or anything and i dont wanna buy extra pipe. also torch is a problem because i have grease/lubricant all over those freakin bolts so yeah big boom. any ideas?

heat it up or cut it off. that is it if you go with heat you need could gel on your grease. you can find it at any seares and when you are there pic up a map gas kit for yourself just is a small propan kit and go to town. you will have the bolt of in now time.
Cut the cat off, go to autozone and buy a section of tubing and a few u bolts. Its cheep (less than 20 bucks) and will provide you with at least a better sound
didnt cut off cats, but torched bolts out n now there on so im happy, just glad to be done with it. i tried the pb and it somewhat worked but i think the bolts were warped a little so i couldnt get them out... actually i think i pulled a muscle tryin to get em off, stupid 1 foot clearance lol
