i dont have torches and chisels never worked for me. the best exhaust
manifold tool ive used is also the hardest to come by; patience. i spray each
nut with PB'laster as often as i can for as long as i can leading up to THE
BIG DAY. when it comes time TIGHTEN each nut a little bit before attempting
to remove. this has worked for me numerous times. sometimes the stud will be
removed from the head with the nut bue that is an easy fix.
ymmv.

That is a good trick, one that I've used many times. However the studs in
question here are a little on the small size for this. They will bend, weaken
or hold the sides of the manifold hole making it difficult to remove. I'd
recommend heat. If you have acetylene then cherry red and a spritz of water .
Works every time. If all you have is propane then heat followed by a
penetrating oil (my .02, Kroil is best) followed by heat followed by
