I was also stopped by those effing demon bolts last night. Got to the last one and the bolt was completely stripped. Had to put on the other stock cat that we took off and sadly put the car back together...

These things are on so tight we even bent one of our breaker bars. Considering getting one of these to help with the stripped demon bolt https://amzn.com/B000QW6K8I but at this point, I'm about ready to bring it to a shop that is willing to help.

Anyway, he tried everything possible, and that bolt didn't budge. So in a few weeks I'll be taking it back so he can actually remove the exhaust manifolds and cut those stupid bolts off. A lot of freakin' work just to remove a couple of cats.
