having worked in a muffler shop, the bolts buy heat and rust get smaller with age..... another option is that someone has already taken it off and replaced the bolt with a standard size.... try a 9/16 socket

what i would do is just disconnect the exhaust at another point drive it and see if that is the problem.if it is then go with the irreprable damage .

If you can get a hacksaw on the bolt, cut through it.

I had to use a dremmel with the cutting blade when I did it. It was the only thing that would fit.
