So... I tried to install some test pipes today. All I can say is what the **** were they thinkking when they made that impossible bolt to get out on the triangle part of the cat pipes all the way at hte top on the drivers side. I got all the other bolts out and that bolt just would not budge. I tried to cut it with a dremel as a last resort but i had no angle. I basically tried everything. I couldnt be more mad right now. For those of you that installed these pipes, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!
I needed this.

 

WD-40, Long extension, Wobble, and lift hood and go through there.

 

post a video or sound clip. i want test pipes but i dont want it to be super loud either

 

Air tools....For The Win!!!!

 

I put my test pipes on and took them off in a week. I am not sure why but they sounded like poop. Real ricey type.

 

I have always got that bolt off from the top (from under the hood) by using a number of extensions and a wobble (technical name?).

edit: USE LOTS OF RUST OFF! (PB blaster or something similar), this makes a WORLD of difference in how easy those bolts come off.

 

After you get the extentions to reach down there and a swivel socket, try using a piece of pipe on the handle of your rachet to give you more leverage. That's what I did when installing CATs before on the G.

 

There was just so much shi** in the way, I would be able to fit a ratchet on but once i were to put a pipe on there would be so much play that pushing it until i ran into something didn't even do anything. Did you guys get it from the engine bay?

 

Yes is your answer.
