I started installing my new exhaust system today; got the Doug Thorley (Jardine) dual exhaust all bolted up. What a difference in tone, just makes you want to rev the engine for no good reason!! I fully intended on doing the magnaflow bolt on converter as well, but there is one nut on the passenger side that I simply couldn't get access to. I used my 1/2" drive socket wrench and various extensions to successfully loosen all the others, but this one might require an angle adapter or maybe a ratcheting box wrench from the side. For those that have done this swap before what are you using to get to that thing? I was so excited that I had gotten them all loose without breaking the studs (Praise the PB blaster), but this one is holding me back. Can't wait to see the difference once the magnaflow cat and volant CAI are in (still waiting on the intake to ship). I also have to replace one of tires before I'll feel comfortable stompin' the pedal.

thought I'd add that it's the nut closest to the o2 sensor on the passenger side that's giving me trouble. It's almost like GM didn't want you to be able to get to it.
