Gutting the cats tomorrow I'm going to gut my cats tomorrow because one of them has gotten pretty bad. I went today and got a socket extension to reach up to some of those bolts and some PB Blaster lubricant ****. Any tips or advice?

Once I get the front end up on jackstands, I run the engine at idle for about 5 minutes to
get the studs nice and hot. Then I soak the stud/nut assy's with the PB blaster and let it work in for about 10-15 minutes then I loosen them. It shouldn't take too much force using this method. I have yet to break a stud off taking the nuts off of the studs (knock on wood).

Mission accomplished. A tip for people planning on doing this: Soak the hell out of the rusted bolts overnight, and once again in the morning. This made it 10 times easier to get them off.
I'm suprised how much better the car sounds now, plus its holding rpms a lot better at the top now.
