Default Midpipe Help

I recently purchased an SLP o/r x pipe to go along with my loudmouth 1 catback. Now im having a lot of trouble getting the passanger side of the x pipe off. I cant seem to get to the damn nuts, no longer get them off. Can someone please help asap. I cant search as it would take to long with dialup. Thanks jeff

You need a swivel and extension to get the bolts off. An impact wrench is helpful.

Just unplug the 02 sensor and take them off when the midpipe is out. They can ba a PITA to get off. If so, heat up the pipe with a mapp gas torch in the 02 sensor area and they should come right out.
