exhaust (ewwwww)

Try showing up 5 minutes before closing time with a case of beer. Don't go in and talk to the manager, just walk to the shop doors, find the guy with the most grit on his clothes and ask if he likes free beer. I am 2 for 3 for easy custom fab stuff, though I must admit it was for my kids trampoline. If they shoot you down, consider it free beer for you, no harm, no foul

Lol...you guys are awesome....but I finally found it....turns out the first guy i talked to at pepboys is dumb....called again to double check and what do ya know....they had it...good lord finally...but that was the easy part...now I need to work on getting the header bolts out that snapped off when removing the exhaust...ugh....gonna habe to pull the whole front end off just to get a good angle at em

What kind of anti-seizing oil did you use before trying to loosen the bolts?

pb blaster...let em soak for about 20 min...i got 2 of 4 of the broken bolts out and tapped but one of the 2 left may be the death of my head...broke a drill bit off inside last night and i dont really know of anything that will drill through a drill bit

1) PB Blaster is amazing - next time you run into a stuck bolt consider soaking for 3-4 days - it could help.
2) Try a harder drill bit

You've got your work cut out for ya dude. Do a search.. Lots and lots of info on this subject.
I busted a tap in one of mine. Used a center punch to bust it up peice by peice using a magnet to remove the bits untill the hole was clean.
PITA
Oh, and stop trusting the min wage idiots that work behind the counter.
Do your own research. You'll learn alot more because you're the one that made effort.
