You talked to someone from Pepboys auto parts?
Maybe the Pepboys in your area is better than mine but odds are the person you talked to didnt even check to see what size pipes they had.

hah...naa im pretty sure he checked...he even decribed something he had that might work but i determined it wouldnt

[lord1234]

Welding shop should do the trick and have the right pipe laying around.

I suggest that you let us know where you are located. Click on User CP (upper left corner) then click on Edit Your Details. Scroll down to Additional Information and enter your location, then Save Changes. If we know where you are, we might be able to find a shop near you that can help.
Best of luck.

Try another muffler shop, one not part of a chain. Any decent shop can make/tweak/bend/flare/somethingoranother to get you on the road. Unbelievable that the chain guys sent you away. Apparently, not enough profit in the job to make it worth their while.

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

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.
