Ok so I want to take my mufflers off out of sheer curiosity of what it will sound like, but there is a problem. The nuts are rusted on. Ive covered them in wd40 and liquid wrench and what not, but the little bastards wont budge. Any ideas on how i can get these off? Oh and if I do get them off will i be able to put them back on without needing some sort of new gasket?

wizard rotary saw. Gotta chop them off. Likely that no matter how much strength you put you won't get them off any other way.

Damn i want to put them back on though

hybridracer

if I do somehow get them off, would i need a new gasket to put them back on?

Oh yeah, also, it should be to incredibly loud should it? Like so loud that it gets the cops attention............. I dont need anymore tickets

My mufflers were rusted off. It sounded ok (rest of exhaust completely stock). What dux was saying before, cut the bolts off. When puting them back on get new bolts, and you will need the gaskets. Any auto parts store will have them. It is not that loud if the rest of your exhaust is stock. The cops never noticed me. Just drive in low RPM's around them.

Oh and you could also heat them up with a torch to try to get them off.

Nevermind, answered my own question by looking at mazdatrix.com, maybe i should have done that first

I just tried Mazdatrix, where did you find the answer/what was the answer! I used air hammer to bust the washers then slid bolts thru.
