    I'd start the bolts soaking in PB to make sure they get nice and loosened up when you can work on them again.

    Straight pipes are ok but can get annoying quick. I rode with a guy in his cheby with dual straight pipes and no cats and it was annoying as f*ck.....

    I soaked them for about 30 mins with the PB last time so ill probably leave it on longer next time around.

    sometimes it takes more than once to soak them bolts to get them to free up

    haha if you soak them after your drive somewhere the heat from the exhaust should help quite a bit

    well the idea is to heat up the metal around the bolt to expand the metal without expanding the metal of the bolt.
