Default header help PLEASE!!

ok i know that this is a common problem but i am stuck. my buddy as a 02SS and just bought a set of pacesetters. we went to install them the other night and noticed the rear exhaust bolts on both side were already broke off. we then covered every bolt with PB blaster and left it to soak overnight. went back this morning and tried the first bolt on the drivers side and it broke off as soon as i put pressure on it. i really dont want to break any more off and dont want to have to remove the heads to get all the broken bolts out. is their any tricks other then PB to get the bolts loose without breaking anymore? any help would be great

Just hose that **** on there and continually keep applying it. But for the broken bolts, remove the manifold, and screw on a bolt a little bit and weld them together. Then you should be able to get them out. Removing the **** is the worst part.
