From underneath the car there should be two bolts holding on each side of the exhaust, rite at the cats.

yeah you need a long extension, and swivel helps too

or just cut them if your gonna ditch threm, w/ a sawzall, might be easier

remove all bolts and full the flanges off the studs and make sure the exhaust hangers for the h-pipeeither not still in the holder but what you really have to do is once all bolts are removed kind pull back and down on the h-pipe to remove it

With a lot of cussing!

I just had to do that, I don't know if it was stock since I have an aftermarket h-pipe i that didn't install, but the bottom bolt was ridiculously long, had to try 3 different deepwells, and then ofcourse, rusted tight.

I'd say cut off wheel and/or a lot of pb and/or torch.
