de-cat pipe

hi

we tried to fit my de-cat pipe today but found that the bolts were so rusted & tight we couldn't remove them. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

thanks

Which bolts are you talking about, the heat shield or the actual Turbo nuts/bolts?

Why have you decatted a sport? Surely that's just pointless... Or have you got a turbo now?

Lol, in that case...

You need to ge a longer bar on the nuts to undo them. Make sure you use a flat sided Socket rather than a 12 sided one so that you dont round any of em off.
