ADJUSTING BORLA CATBACK- Stuck! I was messing around this past weekend and wanted to change the sound of my Borla Adjustable (for sh*ts and giggles). Im running open plate right now and have been since I put it on, and I just wanted to rip around town with it fully closed off (street legal) for once just to see what it sounded like (dont ask me why- Open plate is amazing, but the Cops are a pain in my *** around here) However, as I went to try to loosen the bolts- they wouldn't budge. The exhaust has been on the car for over a year and half now (cars never seen rain/been garaged all winter/no rust). They are just the bolts that thread into the other half of the I-pipe/no locknuts on the otherside, but are on there pretty damn tight. (most of you know what im talking about). I pulled the damn wrench so hard that I slightly bent it, so then I tried using a hammer to the rest of the wrench, now its completly bent. My problem is- do I need an impact wrench to get them loose as is thats what the shop uses to tighten the bolts, or is there some breakfree solution that I could use? (like something to spray on them from a cheapo hardware store)?? Any feedback would be nice! Thanks in advance!!!
I don't know about u guys, but the bolts hardly even fit in at first. I drilled out the holes the bolts went through. Once you get the bolt off, u might want to consider drilling out the holes a tiney bit.
when i had borla, it was always tight to change plates. the heat really tightens stuff up. i put some antisieze on my bolts and it helped alot, but the bolts still were tight

Thanks for the help guys... I tried the old WD-40 method and it didnt work out. I will try the antiseze tomorrow and if that doesnt work, then I might just stop by the old mechanic and have him take the impact wrench to'em. If not, oh well-no sweat 
THANKS!
THANKS!
