That is indeed true haha.

So back on topic, I'm going to give the nuts another go later on today. If I can't get them off and decide to get them installed at an exhaust shop, what price should I settle with? $350 of labor just doesn't cut it with me...what is the kiunt on? A $2000 a day wage?

Try what was suggested earlier, run the engine until the exhaust is hot then try and loosen them. Or get a heat gun or flame to them.

wont heat be worse ?
due to the thread expanding inside of the nut
ive snaped a few head off bolts by not thinking and trying to undo it off a hot engine ( luckly nothing important )

U need to be careful and aware of what u're doing but yes heat can free the nut. Also try tapping the sides of the nut square with a hammer.

ok need to use a proper hex socket not a multi grip style one as hex grabs better and less chance of rounding off or slipping.
used with a decent breaker bar even with pipe extension if you have too, try to crack the nut with instant force not by just applying pressure as this may cause it to also slip and or round off.

Heating up engine first is good idea and soak with crc/wd40 and try giving it a few good taps with a hammer for the old shock treatment. you should be able to use a deep style socket also coupled with breaker bar so you shouldnt need to use any extensions between them to maximise the torque/leverage
