In the future to anyone who may be removing the exhaust, spray those bolts down with pb blaster or liquid wrench a couple days beforehand and let them soak. It really helps out.

It did help and with words of encouragement and tips I started out this morning with a determined approach.

Happily, I saw, I went and I conquered! I got all the nuts off without breaking a single stud!

PB blaster, nut splitters, Easy Outs for nuts, chisels, hammers, vice grips, dremel with saw off, guts and determination, I got the OEM exhaust off!


Thanks to all!!!

 

I've always had pretty good luck working on mine, but I live in Texas and I don't even take my car out in the rain...

Nice job, I don't envy you guys in the North with road salts and everything else to deal with!
