Any any ideas how to get this mess out. Whoever worked on this before stripped it so bad that a bolt extractor won't work

 

I dont think thats a bolt dude. It looks like a rivet. Maybe drill off the head??

 

If that's in the W brace, that's a bit. Whoops! They broke it off lol.

 

Is that right next to the catalytic converter? If it's the"wing" brace, worst case would be to hack up the brace to get to the bolt. Would be pricey. I think a new one is about $400, but there's a used one on ebay from an '05 coupe for $125 right now.

 

your best option go out buy a quality turbo socket. and torch. spray rust penetrate ahead of time. heat the bolt up red hot hammer on the turbo socket and try turning it you should be able to get it.

 

That doesn't look like a bolt, definitely looks like a rivet. However I think it's SUPPOSED to be a bolt so what I assume happened is someone F'd the threads in the past and used a rivet to hold it in place.

EDIT: I would drill it out, once you get through the rivet face it will pop right off, then you can push the rest of the rivet up into the chassis and leave it, then you can fix the threads by tapping it out a size larger.
