Now, I'll have to go see if this is the case.

this absolutely IS the case; you're talking about the header flange on the passenger side. indeed the top nut is captive; remove the bolt from the other side.

Well, after about 3 hours and 2 broken Snap On tools, I've determined the best solution would be to take it to a muffler shop and have them mess with it. Ahh, this was a great DIY project, I'm glad I started this now instead of just selling the bypass pipes as I was originally going to do.

What do you think it will cost for them to remove 2 bolts and a nut and bolt the bypass pipes on? I'm thinking $100 or so.
