I am replacing both mufflers (silencers), what a rusted mess.
If I ever get the self-locking bolts out of the seal between the catalytic converter and the center muffler-

-Any tips on this (they are like solid rust in their) the mufflers are off as are both broken pipes pieces. Do I need to grind and drill out these bolts? Are the bolts a fixed (part of) to the catalytic side of the clamp, They just dont want to budge.

-What kind of seals do I need, are there two or just one, each pipe is different.

-When I reassemble should I anti-seize? everything before or after torque?

Thanks in advance
Marty
