Torque = Force * Lever Arm length. If torque must increase and force can't increase, the arm length must increase! Leverage!

Or, you know, $50 under the table works too. Not the ideal way out, but much better than triple that.

Go to your auto store and ask them for this spray (forgot whats its called but they should know) it will eat through rust and works 10x better than WD40.
It's called Liquid Wrench. Bought it at AutoZone. I used it when installing my springs and it saved a butt load of time. basically spray on bolts and let it sit for 10 min then come back and turn. and i think you should just install the exhaust urself, its all about learning.

Some pretty good amounts of Force. Its what I used to get those same bolts off. Works like a charm. I would have preffered to use airtools though, but the aircompressor was blocked in the corner of my garage out of reach that day.

Yeah those two bolts were extremely tight. I had some help from another member on this board and we installed my HKS exhaust within 30 minutes. Just use some muscle and you should be able to get it off.
