If you're going to attempt to take the exhaust off cut the nuts with a dremel and soak them in penetrating oil before you turn them
I also used a small cold chisel w/ a hammer to turn the nuts by putting the tip of the chisel in the dremel cut. Seemed to break the rust seal better than a slow spanner turn.

Yeah that's a good idea. A sudden impact usually works better than just torque alone. You just have to be a bit careful when the studs are so weak. When I'm undoing any bolt I usually put a bit of pressure on the ratchet with one hand and at the same time hit the ratchet with the other hand. Seems to crack the bolt free with less torque.
