HELP- removal of header from exhaust system

I think I have a leak in the joint between where the header (after the Cat) attaches to the start of the exhaust pipes. The nuts and bolts are badly rusted away.

RealOEM.com shows bolts/nuts but also looks like the original bolts are tacked onto the header (which what I think mine are). Has anyone ever broken that stud out to replaces them? Drilled out?
Searching if any other DIY have done it or should I look for a muffler shop?
The rusted photos are my car, other photo is someone selling on Ebay to show the studs.

THNAKS!
