Actually, I didnt see if you have a TII or not, I assumed you had one. It's a Fuel Cut Defenser, and I'll explain more if you have a Turbo RX-7, lol

YES! Get out there ASAP and use HARDCORE penetrating lube on those bitches. My driver's seat took two broken bolts to get it out, I don't even want to think about how hard it would be to get the exhaust system off.

if you can spary alot of wd40 on the bolts and hangers before trying to remove it. If you can buy some new rubber hangers. Since the old ones might be gone and i don't think you want your new exhast to hang low. Any ways good luck!!
