dude i did the same thing taking my y pipe off my stock manifolds. 4 of the 6 busted. i just used one of those air saws at my buddies shop, and cut them off as close to flush as i could to the manifold then just took my time to drill them out dont get greedy with the drill bit, just take your time, its not hard just time consuming and tiresome. if you can get the easy out in them and wrench them off, thats easier, but if they are like mine, mine busted off so close that it was basically grinding them down so i could drill them out more quickly, either way just take your time, be careful and get some better bolts in there.
good luck man
