I am trying to get my new Apex N1 exaust on. The bolts to the cat are all rusty and dont wanna budge, anyone got any ideas? Oh, and I can't take it to a muffler shop or any place like that, I have no money at all.

Liquid Wrench, WD-40, etc and let it sit for awhile...

The best thing I have heard is take a rag and completely SOAK it in Liquid wrench and wrap it around the bolts and let it sit overnight. Make sure you have a breaker bar or a pipe to slip over the socket wrench to give you extra leverage.

use any kinda of rust eater, liq wrench like they said..

but check this do you have enough tourqe on it.. what are you using to crack it with??

something short.. the longer it is the more levegerage you have..

if u have a wrench do like they said and put it into a pipe and that makes the handle much longer.. should come off after that. if not do what i do.. KEEP TRYING

but NOTHING works like the good ole' impact wrench.

Thanks for all the help...no luck though. However I will be getting my exhaust on soon anyways, my friends step dad is going to come over and help me. He has cutters and a bigger jack and stands...I didn't really have a whole lot of room to move around, so we will have it on tomorow. Thanks again for all the help.
