Good way to remove downpipe from Exhaust?

Any help would be very helpfull.

I had to cut the downpipe in half and then pull the cat and half the downpipe out through the engine bay. The bolts were rusted solid. I actually broke one of the bolts off trying to loosen them from under the car.

work from the wheel well and from underneath. Use alot of rust blaster and go at them. IF you end up cutting the bolts off dont cut the top one off because the nut is welded to the CAT and you will have to get vice grip and twist off the remainder.

All done and the Borla exhaust sounds really nice. Thanks so much dafrazi and trailboss you both helped me a lot. =) I cut the pipe which gave me more room and got all bolts off except 1 which I had to Dremel off. And that tip about them being welded on the top saved me a Cat.
Thanks again for the great advice.
