Randy, I agree with both Dave & IC2. Use a impact screwdriver for a real good shot at getting those screws loose. I would make sure to NOT use a 18-8 stainless found at most hardware stores. If you do go stainless, locate 316 hardware for any structural components. And always use anti-sieze with stainless to prevent galling. I spent some 9 hours cutting / welding / grinding and finally finished the H-pipe and both exhaust pipes, installed the mufflers and testran, it sounds great! I'm on cloud 9... Still need to finish the tailpipes. Not sure if I will go out the back or just in front of the back tires. My arms are killin' me so we'll wait awhile so I can recuperate! LOL..
