Default Removing cat

Hey Guys,
Im trying to install my Berk testpipe and can't get my cat out.

The 2 bolts with spring aren't that bad but the 3 others one... Tried PB Blaster and let it sit for 3 days and it's still not working. Is using a dremel the only way?

Any tips?

yeah, breaker bar...

PITA though... since the car is so close to the ground. Dont have alot of room to move. I was doing 1/8th of a turn, then had to take it off and do it again. Took forever.

And because of the corosion, i had to do it for the entire length of the bolt... man... good memories...

damn. I keep forgetting what a real garage feels like. I've been working on cars with a mobile tool kit, the 'change tire jack' and any flat surface i can find for way too long...

After thinking of all the stuff I could use to take it off and just by coincidence, i have a impact gun.

Why didn't I think of that?

Thanks

pssss...

Question: "What is 'FTW'? What Does It Mean?"

Answer: In 2008, the most common meaning of "FTW" is "for the win", an Internet expression of enthusiasiam.

Is this right, after years of experience on the internet I finally decided to google it. Is that right.

ps; don't tell anyone im asking.
