Stuck Midpipe Bolts?

Stuck Midpipe Bolts?
So I'm in the process of removing my stock exhaust. I got the mufflers off, rubber hangers probably took the longest to figure out but it was simple overall. Now I'm stuck on the midpipe. It seems easy but the midpipe - y pipe bolts are stuck as a ****. I was hoping I wouldn't have this problem since I live in cali and don't really get vehicle rust.
I figured some of you guys would have gone through this before.. any tips?

PS. don't expect anything to work instantly; let it sit over night at least.

WD-40 is a water displacement fluid, NOT a proper penetrating lube. PB is ok for the fact that it's actually a penetrating oil, it's cheap, and available all over. But... If you really want the sh**, then get yourself some Kroil (best off the shelf) or mix up some tranny fluid with some acetone for a wicked home-brew. Short of a torch, those are your best bets.

Alright guys I broke down. After 2 days of PB and using my shitty cigarette lighter to heat up the bolt I'm not about to run to the store every day to pick something else up - just sending it over to the shop. Good news is theres a great muffler shop in my city that has a great reputation for not ripping people off. I'll update tomorrow.
