At a loss trying to remove exhaust bolts

Looks like you have enough area to drill another hole (not centered on the existing ones) and drill a subsequent hole on the other side of the flange. If that explanation makes any sense

Take it to Midas Muffler and let them work it out. Ain't worth the trouble for what they'll charge you. (I like my Midas men!)

Just went thru this with my 928 (update to thread coming). I ground the nut end flush with a dremel. Next step was to take a hammer & punch to them. Thankfully they all came out with some healthy whacks. My next step was to use a yellow benzene torch on them. The blue version doesn't get hot enough, supposedly the yellow one does. A yellow version costs $50 at Lowe's.
