NEED HELP!! Installing Exhaust

So I got my exhaust system waiting to go on. I am trying to get the bolts off between the exhaust and down pipe and they seem to be rusted on there pretty good. I put some penetrating oil on there, but still nothing. I've tried everything I know. I have put a wrench on there and pounded on it with a hammer and nothing. I only have it up on jackstands, so I cant really get much of a breaker bar under there.

Any ideas??!

the double wrench technique. put the closed end of one wrench around the bolt, put the other closed end of the other wrench through one of the sides of the open end of the wrench thats around the bolt. it gives you more leverage. hard to explain, but i had a 1990 5.0 mustang before my balt and i know what your going though, i used this technique alot of hard to get off bolts

WD-40 bath and the longest cheater bar you can get in there..........and don't drop the car on yourself. Be patient with it and try not to break **** as well.

hook the wrench on it and get a piece of pipe thats hollow inside and slip it over the wrench for more leverage....

I didnt have any room for a breaker bar. I ended up taking my little hand torch and sticking some heat on it and was able to break it look.

The Borla sounds awesome!
