I just had to do that when I put my headers on. What I did was just keep rotating them and pulling at the same time (very tiring) and spray a bunch of WD-40 up in the connection to provide a little lubrication. Eventually they should come free. It'll just take some work.

If it is a Flowmaster muffler, you could probably bang it a little bit, but I wouldn't be hitting too hard or too much. All that is inside a Flowmaster muffler are welded in plates to direct flow and sound. Question: Why do you need to bang on the muffler anyway? Just curious.
