Is there any order to removing the xpipe, like what side to unbolt first first. And what side to leave for last.
did you try any penetrating oil? They are hard to get to especially if your working alone. It is a lot easier if you have a helper to be on top while your under it.
I have shorties as well, I know this pain. I was able to get my ratchet on the top and wedge it in so that it was against the firewall while I got it from the bottom.
Time to cut it off
I think I used my ratchet and put a piece of electrical tape over the socket before I pushed it on the bolt head from above. It might take a little trial/error to get the size perfect but the vinyl will compress and help to keep it in place.
I'm gonna try a couple of things, and if they don't work that's what I'll have to do. I don't feel like putting the car on a trailer just for somebody to cut it of or torch it off.
Why?

So what I typically have to do is get a mid depth 6 point socket and a universal joint, then a breaker bar. I don’t like to use an impact on these bolts.
you could have cut it off , and been done with it
just saying
Yeah, I just purchased a Aircat Nitrocat 1/2" stubby impact gun which is 10x better than the Craftsmen wanabe impact gun I have, and gonna see if that can persuade that nut. Plus I wanted to get a better impact gun anyway. Then if that doesn't work I'll make you happy and cut it off.
