Are you putting a new exhaust on . If you are then time to break out a cutting tool such as :saw torch etc.

Go to the store and buy some Liquid Wrench. Spray the shit on good and let it sit overnight. When you come out tomorrow morning they should pop right off. If that doesnt work since there are no gaskets to burn just grab a torch heat the bastards up and theyll slide off like butter. If you dont want to do that just drill the damn bolt and be done with it.

If te liquid wrench doesnt work and u dont want to cut the pipeing I have had to use a propane tourch on stubborn nuts. Get them real hot and it breaks down the rust inside the nuts so that they can brake loose.

Just if u are using a torch be very careful that close to the gas tank.

get a breaker bar. I picked one up at scotties for about $8 its 1.5 thick and about 5 feet long galvanized steel and the walls are about 1/2 thick. Ive never had anything that this bar wouldnt break. Ive used impact guns the size of a 13 wheel hooked up to 15hp industrial air compressors that wouldnt get bolts off put this bar on there and with minimal force damn near any bolt will either come off or something is gonna break either the socket ratchet or bolt head. I suggest at least 1/2 inch sockets 3/8 doesnt always cut it.

Or ghetto-style with a 5 ft. long pipe slipped over the ratchet handle.
