Soak the bolts in PB blaster overnight and try again. You will probably have better luck from underneath the car with along wrench or ratchet with an extension. MIght as well go ahead and squirt some where the Y pipe connects to the exhaust manifold too. If you have a tough time getting the heads loose, take a breaker bar and big socket and rotate the engine over and the compression on the cylinder will free them from the block.

You don't have to remove the exhaust manifold from the heads ,just drop the exhaust pipe and the pull the heads and exhaust manifold as one , on passenger side you need to take off the egr valve.
I may be thinking of a different car I try to delete this post but i could not.
