If your just having trouble getting to the bolts try removing the exhaust from the hanger a little bit after the cat, the bolt with the little spring in it. it gives you same extra play in it to move stuff around.

Yeah, I have a 3 inch custom now and I forgot about the spring bolt, take that off and you should have more room. Also, you will need about 2ft of extensions to make it easy.
