Most midpipe installs are around $50 or so.

Hit the bolts with some PB Blaster, and let it penetrate for a few minutes. Also, use the extentions and what not to get to the bolt, and then use a breaker bar or something to lengthen the handle of the socket wrench so that you can get more torque on the bolt. That should do it.
