I started to round the bolt on passengers side midpipe to Y connection, so i said F* it as well and sawzalled it too.With as much torque as it takes to get those bastards loose, 1 bad turn is all it takes and you are screwed. There is a black plate just before the Y pipe i think if you can get those 4 bolts out, and pull everything off the hangers, you could just let it drop.(once off cats)
I didn't have a metric impact socket, lesson learned. 5 hour exhaust removal, 20 min install ha.
