To save the life of me I cannot figure out how to get a wrench on this last bolt. I've spent as much time trying to get this bolt off as I have taking the rest of the stock exhaust off. Someone please give me some insight on how to remove this passenger side header bolt all the way back near the firewall!

Go at it from underneath..
Remove the heat shielding panels from that side
Lie on back with head toward rear of car, feet towards front obviously..
Use right hand and either a 10mm (or is it 8mm, I forget) gear wrench or socket
From that angle you should have plenty of room, I think...
Thats how I did it.

10mm gear wrench if you don't have a compressor.
I have a 1/4" drive air-ratchet with 10000000 accessories for it. I can change the spark plugs from the tail pipe. That tool allows me to remove EVERY header bolt in about 30 seconds. It fits everywhere under the hood, and if it can't I can put some 1/4" wobble-extensions and U-joints on it.
