You will be very lucky to extract the studs whilst in the vehicle. Drop the front pipe. Sounds harder, but, in reality, much easier.
SOURCE: siezed exhaust manifold bolts
Get brake fluid or transmission fuild on them. Let it set for up to an hour...try to break them loose...put more fluid on it...tighten them wait about ten minutes...break them loose....this works...just don't start the vehicle and cook off the fluid.

Whatever it takes, but make sure you soak some penetrating oil oi wd40 on others to avoid any more being broken. Pulling the manifold is the safest and quickest way. With it out of the way, you'll have someting on the broken bots, now studs to work with. Always drill a broken stud or bolt clean through. Penetrating oil can work from both ends and a broken easy out can be driven in far enough to work arounf -Good Luck, force nothing, Tap stud and apply only stesdy even presure when extracting.

SOURCE: i cant get to a bolt on the exhaust manifold help
You might have to jack the front of the Car up and get it from underneath, That would be the simplest way of doing it, those manifold gaskets and bolts can be a pain but if you dont tighten them to spec, they will leak and make a ticking noise in your engine bay, at least until the metal had expanded and closed the leak.
