Help installing J-Pipe/Test Pipe

Hey guys,

So I recently got my XLR8 J-Pipe and test pipe combo, and need help on the install. I looked under the car, and it appears that the nuts holding the J-pipe to the pre-cats are rusted on. Since I do not have a lift, I couldn't get enough leverage under the car to break them free.

So I am asking for some help from my fellow Aziners. Does someone have a shop that can do the install for me or know of a place that wont charge me out the ass? One shop wanted $110, and wasn't going to install the test pipe. F that.

Can someone help me out? Much appreciated

Tim

buy some bolt penetrator, spray it all over the top and bottom, let it sit for a few mins and give it another shot

Yea, I have PB Blaster and have tried it. The bolts are a little rusted on, so I'm thinking they are going to have to be burned off.
