So I got my new exhaust put on a few hours ago, but we had to give up getting the header on cause the went to take off the stock and there are two bolts that we couldnt get loose for anything. We nearly killed ourselves trying anything we could think of. Any ideas, pointers, anything????? Sucks cause I really wanted that on along with the exhaust today... oh well, any advice is greatly appreciated!

We tried that and everything else under the sun. Instead of these 2 bolts facing frontward (the logical way) they are facing the back of the car so we have to try and loosen them in a paculiar way with not alot of room to work with cause the Power Steering fluid tank (not sure what the proper name is) is in the way.
My friend and myself put all our strength into try ing to get these bolts loose. At one time we both were working on getting 1 loose at the same time and it still didnt budge.
With some force all of the other bolts, screws, etc came off...

yes they are tight as heck , you will most likely have to jack up the car and get them from the bottom , were you can get more leverage on them and an extension and cheater pipe , wd40 will help but only after you break them loose ..
it takes a strong steady pull and they will come loose .
i asume your talking about the 2 on the down pipe that is i think there 14mm ..

Spray some WD-40 and get a breaker bar to break it loose. If you don't have one, use a metal pole for longer leverage. It will give you all the power you need!
