Spray with WD40 and let them sit for a while. It's harder than it looks.

**EDIT**

OOOPS, I meant easier than it looks!

Seems simple enough, but accessing the bolts may be an issue. For $80, to me, it's a bargain.

I installed my mid-pipe with the help of one buddy who had a hydraulic lift in his garage (good friend). Even with the car 6.5 ft. in the air it can be a pain in the butt. If you want to do it yourself, that's fine, but it's gonna' take awhile. Get some help as well.

Thanks for the input guys, got an app this morning at a exhaust shop. got qoutes from 2 places and both were $80.. Figure its worth it going to save me allot of time and gives me more time to install my Steeda UCA's which wil be a PITA.
