Default HELP !! 94 accord lx replace the stock exhaust system HELP !!

hi, everyone new to this forum. I bought a rear part of the exhaust ( the back pipe and the muffler). I saw 2 bolts between the stock pipe connected with the mid pipe. I should loosen it in order to install the new one, right? However, that waw so tight, and I don't want to force it.
Does anyone has changed their 94 accord rear exhaust by themselves? Can provide me installation instruction, have picure will be great. Thanks x 1000.

Go pick up some liquid wrench and soak the bolts and let them sit for a while then try they should come loose a lot easier. If not try it again and try tapping the bolts and let them sit a little longer. It's works trust me I had to do it with my exhaust a few weeks ago and it was the same situation.

Yeah just slide it out and use the old rubber pieces that attach to the hangers to hold the exhaust up if your new one didn't come with them.

I did as you say, but it's not working. I believe your idea but wondering am I working on the wrong bolts?

sometimes it takes a good ol breaker bar, if you get enough leverage theyll come out pretty easy.... but if you have low clearance, try to get it torched a bit if you have one then go at it... or leave the car on for a bit to try to heat up the bolts for a few...

Gees, I still can't loosen that damn bolts. What else I can do. Do I have to jack up my car, so that I can gain more torque to work on the bolts?

Jacking up the car can help you get more leverage. You'll need some form a breaker bar to break them loose. If you know anyone that has access to air tools, that would solve your problem...
