Exhaust installation help
I bought an exhaust finally, and now I attempted to install the exhaust but can't get the bolts off of the old exhaust. So with that I was wondering if anyone can recommend any shops that can do the job for a good price. Or if anyone is willing to help if possible, it would be greatly appreciated.

PB Blaster works wonders if you didn't try that yet. Spray it all around the bolt and threads and wait 5 minutes, spray again then try. Also get a breaker bar from Harbor Freight. Put all 4 corners up on jack stands so the car is high enough to get some leverage. Make sure you put a couple spare tires under the jack points so if an earthquake occurs and the car falls off the jack stands that it won't end you.
I'm not sure where Shoreline is but if you'd like to come to Beaverton I can help you. I'm sure there are a lot of other people on here that would help but they probably aren't reading this so perhaps be patient?

PB Blaster works better than WD40 in my experience.

Hey now, it's not a competition. Was just throwing out WD40 since it has a higher chance of laying around somewhere in OP's garage. Not saying it works better or worse, but either way it will get the job done.

Simple diesel oil is pretty good too. Wire brush any opposed threads and brush on. Reapply a couple of times and leave overnight. Use a six sided socket with a breaker bar or impact tool.

I wasn't trying to make it a competition. Just telling him from experience if he sees both that he should get PB Blaster instead of WD40. No need to take it personal as I didn't mean anything by it.

Best stuff for stuck bolts, is 50% auto trans fluid 50% acetone mix. Works far better than anything else listed in this thread.

I agree, if OP goes to pick up something to help remove bolts, PB blaster is better than WD40. Just throwing out that WD40 would probably do the trick since the car is still relatively new. Guess things are just getting misconveyed. Hope OP figured it out!
