Hey guys, kinda stuck here and not sure the best way to tackle this. So ive got the top head bolts loose but the bottom ones I cant get to because of the exhaust manifold. Exhaust manifold is off the heads but its still stuck on the y pipe. I also have rounded off 2 bolts on the passenger side that connects the y pipe and the manifold.

So my main question is where do I go from here? I dont think theres enough room to wiggle it around and get the head bolts with the manifold still in, and the bolts are extremely stuck on and Ive already rounded 2 off. So what not? dremel? drill? Im about ready to just pass this off to someone cause I think ive been way over my head and Ive been stuck here for a week now

Ive tried thiswith a set of long tubes and ended up having to take them the rest of the way out/off. If all else fails cut the Y with a sawzall and deal with the rounded bolts on the work bench. If it has 2 cats this may not work.

looks just like that so I guess I have 2 cats? Sawzall doesnt sound too bad because I plan on putting the stock manifolds back on since I need to smog. So I can just cut it and then clamp it back on later? Seems like the easiest option.
