Default need exhaust help

ok i really need some advise.
i have an almost mint 92 gt and have no idea how the fuck to take the bolts from the headers to the stock h-pipe off. i want to hollow out my cats because they really clogged like crazy and i cant stand this gas mileage. im gettin about 9 mpg and its all stock.
so my question is, how do i get those bolts off?

if i cant get them off im just goin to sell it, i cant have a car that gets gas mileage like this

Hollowing out your cats is A LOT more work than it's worth, bro... Check here, Corral, and Ebay for used offroad midpipes. As Harold said, you could find one for around $50 used. I've ran an o/r x on my 5.0 with stock headers/catback, and the sound was real cool. Smooth, louder but not obnoxiously so, and didn't have interior vibrations.
