Removing Center Exhaust Dilemma

Removing Center Exhaust Dilemma
So I received my SharkWerks Center Exhaust Bypass a few weeks ago, but been waiting for my car to get out of the shop (frickin N Texas Hail). Today I took out all of my required tools and got to the project.
The first step is to remove the nuts that connect the center exhaust to the manifold/cat. While it was tricky getting the passenger side undone, I was able to do it. Then to the drivers side. First 2 bolts - no problem. Third Bolt - No Chance. For those of you that have looked at the setup, this is the bolt on the top side of the pipe. Since my car has PSE, there is an extra exhaust pipe coming from the side muffler. This eliminates most of the room to get any tools through.
Has anyone here removed their center exhaust from a PSE-optioned car on their own? This is the ONE nut/bolt that is keeping me from completing the project on my own and not having to go pay a dealer beaucoup $$$ simply because I can't get one nut removed.
