Don't you guys have any friends with an impact wrench? You'll get those things off in a flash, no sweat or worries about jacks. Even if the impact isn't strong enough to spin them right off, you can switch to forward and reverse to shock it loose.

Are you saying that the o2 sensor is lower than where the header would connect to the downpipe? You may have to unclip the o2sensor from the motor in order to get it to reach down there, but that one is for the header, not the 2nd cat.
a pic may help heh

Got mine on today. No matter how much time, swet, strength or wathever I've put on the bolts that connect the downpipe to the cat, I could have never got it off. I had to bring it to a shop so they can loose it up a bit.
The impac wrench along could not do the job. They had to torch the bolts, then unscrew them out of there. It costed 25$ just to loosen up 2 bolts. It's a good thing I did the install my-self.
1 question though. I want to make sure I did that part right.
Where are we suppose to attach the hangers that are welded on the downpipe. Are we suppose to attach them to the rubber things that were holding the stock one?
