unbolt it using whatever size wrench is needed. Pb blaster will help if its corroded. once the bolts are off pull the exhaust apart, and wrangle the hangers off the car. THen stick it back on the same way. It's pretty straightforward.

soak them in pb blaster and get an impact wrench.

Or buy new bolts and grind off the old ones.

That's about your only options.

If you can't get a hold of a impact wrench, go get a longer breaker bar. The longer the bar the more leverage you put on the bolt. Looks something like this:

Just keep trying, sometimes exhaust bolts can be a bitch.
