Exhaust Flange bolt seized

Exhaust Flange bolt seized
I was wondering how to go about removing these studs from this exhaust. I went at it last year with a drill but failed.
I did a transmission filter and fluid change and had to drop the exhaust to remove the transmission pan
Well the pictures tell the story !!

Man of war,
Not sure what you are asking or maybe what I am seeing.
To me, it looks like you took a c-clamp and used it to hold the exhaust together at the flange. I would assume with all the rust and such, it has been on there for a while.
But again I am sure, what I should be seeing here

Any thoughts on how to go about removing the broken studs from the flange so that I can use a nut and bolt to tighten the flange together the correct way.
I had to improvise and use what I had available to get the Hummer drivable.

I was thinking that as well after failing with the drill,it moves all over the place when I try to work on it.
Now I could convince the wife that I need a Cat Back System. One that wont break like this one.

Muffler Shop...
Go to the local muffler shop as stated, give the guy twenty bucks and get it done. Not worth loosing sleep. Or get the cat back system give them $100 bucks to install it and drive away. The shop here just cut off my stock muffler installed my new Magnaflow muffler and built me a new inlet pipe (the one you are having the issue with) for $75 bucks as I sat and drank coffee. Have the tools and skills to do it myself, but $75 bucks, I was not that motivated.

Also try using a better bit like a cobalt. And hit the bolt with a punch so the bit doesn't walk all over.
Hope this helps
