If they are just *stuck* get some PB Blaster and soak overnight spraying occasionally to keep it wet.

If you can't reach the bolts, be prepared to use every wobble socket, extension, universal and so forth in your toolbox in order to get up in there.
IOW you need to find the right combo of tools to reach it and get torque at the same time.

the nuts for the h pipe to the manifolds is 15 mmand you WILL need a swivel and about 16 inches worth of extensions and a impact wrench.
