Angry y pipe removal tips

ok ive been pulling my y-pipe off for like 2 hours. i have all the nuts of but the pass side is hanging up on two of the studs. theres only two thats y i had to do this in the first place, anyone have any sweet ideas for getting that bicth off? im trying to do it nice tap tap on each side but im about to blue wrench the mf. also when i get it off im pretty sure im going to leave the manifold on and drill the stud out from under the car. that sounds allright doesent it?

Re: y pipe removal tips

Lots of PB blaster and some pretty ghetto rigged ratchets.There are 3 bolts connecting each side to the manifold, I made the mistake of thinking there were only 2. That was the hardest part of my header install. Just keep pulling and when all else fails, just pull out the Dremel, thats what I did!
