Heat up that puppy with an aggressive drive, and then be extra careful touching the exhaust after. You might not need to acquire a torch if you do it that way. I'd be amazed if vice grips, penetrating lube and the heat from a drive don't help.

i ended up cutting it off with a dremmal and installing new hard ware. but when i go to put the the cat back on im going to need to knock those other bolts out

edit:

the test pipe doesnt add any noticable sound with a stock exhaust to me.
