Penetrating oil is your friend. Let it soak. If that dont work use a torch and head the sunbitches

get penetrating oil or liquid wrench at pep boys etc, impact gun will make your life sooo much easier, which bolts? if its the ones connecting the b pipe to the muffler you have to hold the nuts on the otherside with a wrench or ratchet, turn it right for one second than back to left just to loosen it up, but if you have access to an impact gun things will be a lot easier on you

just spray some Wd40 on it and let in soak and jam sandpaper in ur socket so it can hold the bolt securley. i have used this method and it works great.
