Spray a ton of liquid wrench on it and let it sit for a bit.
Then get your torch.
30 seconds - a minute is fuck all.
I had mine glowing like an amber. It was smoking from the top too. Thats how hot you need to get it.
After that the come off easy with plain old 14mm. Use a ratchet with extension on the drivers side because of the steering shit in the way.

I realize the nut is already off but I just wanted to second what was stated above.
I had a siezed nut on my 12 year old stock exhaust that absolutely would not come off. We tried pb blaster, breaker bars, impacts, etc nothing would budge it. Luckily for me I had an old timer around who broke out the oxyacetyline (sp?) torch and showed us that if you heated up the bolt till it was a glowing ember it would come off and sure enough it unscrewed just like butter. Keep in mind once you do this both the nut & bolt are no longer safe to use but it worked at least.
