trouble installing axelback exaust

hey guys, i just bought an axel back exaust....but i seem cant get to get my old one off. i lifted my car and took the passenger back wheel off to get at the stock axel back off. i take a socket and tried to take it off, however the bold doesnt budge. so i take a closer look and there seems to be another nut on the other side but cant get at that nut either cuz the bold is too long so i cant use a socket so i tried a monkey wrench and it still wont budge. i was just wondering if anyone has installed their own axel back exaust that could help me out . any help would be greatly appreciated thx

I took mine on/off a few times. Didn't have to do anything except slide under the car and use a socket wrench. Try spraying some PB blaster lube onto the bolts and bang em with a hammer. Then let it soak for a while. It should be easier, but you may need air tools if it's really rusted.

try a cheater bar. like a pipe or something. just slide it on to the end of the ratchet it gives so much more leverage

The nut on the back is welded there....don't enven bother. Use some wd 40 and soak the threads. If not drive around and heat it up. This will help also..just be carefull not to burn yourself.
