Got the holeshot
You should either try heating it up and using the vice grips again or drill it out and replace the stud/nut.
Hope you get it off, it sure is a pain, i know from experience.

Catch me if you can
You need at least acetylene to heat it up a bit - I never get exhaust nuts or studs out without heat. I replaced my SX studs with stainless steel so hopefully it will never happen again. Good luck! Make sure to toss a 350X carb on that SX and throw away your airbox lid with that exhaust - say hello to nice power gains!!

there is a tool called a nut splitter,, maybe a rental place has one or your local napa ,,,, they work great and will not hurt the threads if you are careful,,,

well if it aint out or broken yet, try that: let it sit in lemon juice (put it on a rag and slam it on) over night, then the next mornin try with a small impact, and if you get some space, try and keep some pressur towards you with a small prybar while you unscrewing. (set your impact to the slowest speed and strenght)
