Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

!%^#$%* Exhaust Bolts are Crap - Help?

!%^#$%* Exhaust Bolts are Crap - Help?

Ok so I have been trying to bolt up my spt for the past two days, but I not get the bolts off.

By now they are rust free but completely stripped. It almost looks like the nuts are welded in though from so much corrosion.

Any clue how I can get them off without breaking out my torch?

Also... will suto parts stores have gaskets, nuts, and bolts for my car or do I have to go to a dealer?

I took it to my buddies garage. He has a lift at his house and air tools etc.

We just took a grinder to them and put new stainless steel bolts on it.

It took me 2 minutes to remove the bolts and to install the new exhaust.

I WANT MY OWN LIFT... screw laying on your back lol.

I tried using my cell to create a sound before my engine was replaced and the only thing you could hear was the rattle from the engine, the exhaust really is nice a quiet.
