    No worries, getting them out is the hardest part, those crossover bolts are guaranteed to break. You wont be using them anyways so no biggie

    yea i know... but it just made me realize how much other stuff was most likely gonna go wrong and that im not equipped to handle it when it does... so i set up an appointment with my mechanic for monday, he's always done good work on my cars so hes gonna do them for me. im not really too good with doing big jobs on my car i guess. i know i can do other things fine but that was too much for me. oh well i guess, now ill just have to deal with my exhaust sounding ****ty until monday
