Default Header install troubles.....

Got a pair of the Edelbrock shorty headers. Passenger side went in fine with no problems....went to the driver side, got the manifold bolts off and 1 collector bolt. Went to the next two and they both stripped and won't budge. So, I took a dremel to one of the nuts but got some of the material off of it but still can't get that one off. Is my only option at this point to take a saw to the pipe and cut it off and let an exhaust shop weld it all back up?

Deep Creep at your local O'reillys or Auto Zone.

worth every penny. I know your nuts are stripped, but this will help loosen things up a bit.

That's what I used is Deep Creep. I got them off with a lot of grinding. Thanks for the help anyways.
