Default Urgent(ish) Exhaust Bolt Problem

I’m putting on a aftermarket exhaust. Gotten to the dreaded 6 bolts that connect the exhaust to the headers. 2 snapped so far - no problem just tapped them out. The next two are just spinning in place; and since it’s a circular side on the manifold; there’s nothing to stop it from spinning.

I’m stuck here so any advice would be great.

not much else to do but cut the nuts off. See if you can get a grinder in and cut them "vertically". Even if you can't cut it all the way, you can probably finish with a chistle.

Good luck.

Cut or drill them out and then use new separate nuts/bolts
