Just need to vent here..
What in gods name where they thinking when the made those lower bolts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got them off but DANG it was not fun!!!
Is there a better solution? I bet I need new style head pipes right......

 

i've had 3 different pipes on mine (ron wood-graydon-mbrp) and the head pipes are all tough. the graydon being the best. i just took mine off this weekend also, and you have to loosen up the left side first and slide forward to get clearance to the right side. it was easier to install my mbrp when the machine was all torn down for powder coating.
