Okay, I have to do this myself since I already bought the gasket and three new bolts. How in the hell do I get the muffler off? I'm tlaking about the flange above the axle. I have spent over an hour trying to cut the head off the bolts with a dremel. I already rounded them with an impact wrench so I have to cut them.
someone here mentioned using a dremel before but I don't think mine is working. Can some one lend some advice? These things are like fused together. 80K on the orginal exhaust.

I used a dremel to get mine off. If you don't have one, all I can think of is to use a torch to heat the bolts up ... but then you have to be able to get a grip on them to turn them out. I have used the torch method on my vr4 downpipe and cats.
Mine had 70k on the original exhaust and there was no way I could get them off w/o the dremel.
Sorry, I couldn't be of more help

You know what I have a set of those craftsman things I totally forgot!!!!
I do have a dremel, a 35K RPM Digital one. Is it easier to dremel out the head or the backside? How did you do it?
