Another trick is to use some penetrating spray and then run the car for a few minutes to let the bolts and studs expand. This will also make remove just a little bit easier. Also; you do not have to remove anything from the intake on the passenger's side but you will have to at least disconnect the driver's side intake from the throttle body to gain enough room to access that header to cat bolt.

I have the Stillen Gen3 installed... will I need to take this apart to get to the bolts with the extension? Please tell me I don't need to take the front fascia off again
