Fixed her. Bolt is incredibly rusted so it was a PITA!
I think that's the one I had to cut off when I swapped my exhaust out. Couldn't get it to budge. Stripped knuckles. Stripped sockets. Said eff it.

yeah I'm glad I had PB Blaster handy. Without it I probably would have damaged the hardware. And my new set of mechanix gloves definitely saved some flesh! Who put that head shield there lol.

Might have been doable if they put the stupid bolt on the underside of the pipe.

my plan was to remove it and reverse it... Well, to remove it and see if it COULD be reversed, then torque it down good. But I had such a hard time getting it as far as I did, they REALLY don't want anyone taking that bolt off lol.

tightened it down AGAIN! This time I gave her all I got. If this doesn't do it I'm going to the dealership to raise hell!
