When we were removign my exhaust...
apparently all four bolts were snapped that attach the exhaust to the headers. Are these bolts I can just replace by popping the old ones out and pushing new ones in? Or some other stupid thing like replacing the headers. Ugh.

Those are studs, most that I've worked on have been very rusty. If there is any of it left, you may be able to use a combination of PBBlaster and heat, then use visegrips to turn them out.

I have plenty of that. What about the heat shields aroudn the headers, are they in the way...sory I havent been under there in about a week and cant remember. I guess I will continue to shoot them and then get to twisting.

Depending how bad they are, you may have to pull off or pry away the heat shields. The problem is usually the heat shield bolts are just as bad or worse
The good thing, is the heat shields can easily be trimmed with tin snips or a grinder. If you weld, another trick is to weld a nut onto the remains of the stud. The heat from welding helps and then you have something to get a wrench on.
