Little by little it creaked and turned until, SNAP! the glorious sound. So so glorious.

Both bolts are out, time to jack it up and get the easier ones off and install my test pipes.

I feel like I am in a very small crowd of people that has successfully done this. 4 hours into this install so far and I've just taken off 2 bolts lol.
6 years later and I'm in the exact same situation as you, Gauge. My passenger side bolt came off easily, the driver's side bolt got rounded... Thought I was doomed as most shops refuse to touch this kind of stuff, but I stumbled upon this thread. Going to pick up some bolt extractors and give it another go today, wish me luck. Currently driving around with only one pipe installed haha
