I am trying to put my x pipe on and I cant seem to get a good angle on the bottom bolt of the passenger side. Any one have ideas?

YES, definately disconnect the battery!

As for the bottom bolt. You will need a long extension and a good solid swivel to get the socket on that nut. If you haven't already, soak the nut with PB blaster or an equivalent to try and remove some of the rust from the bolt. It will make it easier to get it unbolted.

you need like a 13" extension and a universal swivel with a 1/2" drive. I've done it w/ 3/8" but you torque the hell out of it

And a good 1/2" drive impact like a IR titainium. Can't remember the # on the impact.
