Are the collectors bolted to the exhaust, or welded? Some guys do weld them. I wouldn't, but some do.
Exhaust-related bolts are also notorious for rusting up and getting REALLY badly stuck together. Might just need some penetrating oil and muscle to get them out.

try heating up the bolts before taking them off or you can spray wd-40 on them and let it sit for a bit.

are you talking about the bolts that go on the heads or the bolts to the y-pipe. it sounds like you are talking about the y-pipe cause you get thoese bolts from underneth the car. as far as the manifold to the head it all depends.

They are bolted, but I don't see how I can get them off, there just isn't clearance for a wrench, socket or anything to get in their.

Go from under the car, and use extentions... I got my manifold bolts out that way.
