The passenger side is a PITA to get off. You really need a deep socket cut down so you have access. Just keep working on it and you should get it. Make sure you have a good universal extension.

Lol i stripped the shit out of that bolt but fianlly it came off...x pipe doesn't sound to bad at all but im still running my stock mufflers so i hope that it will sound better when i change those out to some flowmasters... quick question... do yall think i could run close to a 14 second 1/4 with 3.73 gears, CAI, x pipe, and a 93 octane tune??? completely stock i ran 14.7 all day.

probably not but close i think that for every 10 extra horsepower you can count on like shaving a tenth off of your time
