muffler bolts
Are the bolts at the end of the muffler section welded on either side?
I thought I remember reading that in a past post about switching out the muffler section. I tried spraying liquid wrench and an impact gun and ended up having to drill the old bolts off one side. I ran out of time before doing the other side, and was trying to save some time.

Thanks for the reply. I called the local Lex dealer and was told that neither side was welded on, but a NorthEast owned 2001 has seen at least 4 winters and they might as well be. I ended up drilling through the bolt head to get them off.
Thanks

Yes...as jefftsai replied...only the nut is welded on the stock muffler rear system.
When i installed my Blitz...i downsized the nuts/bolts so I have more play room manuevering/ angling/positioning the new exhaust in the bumper cutouts. Just a heads up tip.
