Trouble Removing Old Exhaust and Installing Magnaflow

[K0PIR]

I am having trouble removing the old exhaust, specifically the two bolts that are rusted in right where I need to disconnect and attach the new Magnaflow. I've been using PB Blaster on it. It takes a 15mm socket but that crossbar is right in the way. I've tried using a flex head 3/8" ratchet, but it won't budge. I think a bigger 1/2" flex ratchet would work, but I don't have one.

Any suggestions? I don't have a box end wrench in that size, but I could probably borrow one. Has any one used a box end to remove it? As a last resort, do you think I could use a sawzall and cut it out? I don't want to damage anything that I'll need.

Thanks.

Soak it with PB Blaster for a day.

All great suggestions. I bought a 1/2" drive ratchet with a flex head and that did it. PB Blaster too. The torch was coming out if it didn't break loose

I'll update with the new Magnaflow on the other thread.

Nevermind.
