How??? how do you get this out. ive tried many combinations of swivels, extensions and sockets. nothing i try fits. i think whoever welded this back together was a little off on pipe bends? not sure but i litterally cant fit anything here, even tried an 18mm wrench. nothing fits in this space... i had to remove the o2 to get any kind of clearance and even that was a pita because the back end of the o2 was resting on the frame. any help is greatly appreciated . sorry for bad picture quality .

Why is there a weld on that pipe?
Here is how I've always done it.
BP blaster!!
18mm(I thought it was 16 but havent had mine off in a while) deep well
swivel
long extension
Lots of arm strength or impact.
From the picture, looks like you'll need to apply some heat to it. A cheap torch from habor freight would work great. Also, you need to use a good swivel or you'll snap it. I snapped three cheap ones back in the day

There should be plenty of room for a socket unless the muffler shop heated and then bent the pipe. Or the car was in an accident and the "frame" has been twisted.

Consider that the motor mounts may be broken and that is allowing the motor to set lower in the K-member than normal. The Mustang is hard on motor mounts and I know from personal experience that when the motor mounts are broken the motor WILL set much lower in the K-member. The amount of drop is very dramatic when comparing the before to after.
