Search in the DIY section. Im sure there are many. Its just a matter of unbolting and taking it off the hangars.

pretty much take off the nuts that are on the spring bolts. Then if you have to you can take off the other side of the bolt that is attached to the flange of the cat.

The attached photo shows that nut & bolt ( no spring ). That nut can become fused to the bolt and turning it will also turn the bolt. As you can see the bolt has threads on the other end and if you turn it enough it will come out the other flange. That is perfectly fine and will allow you to remove the exhaust. I suggest keep turning that nut until the whole thing comes off.
