Lefty loosey, righty tighty.
Soak in your choice of penetrant oil (Yield, PB Blaster etc etc), hit it with an impact, use a torch, impact again, use a sawzall.
In that order
PB blaster, elbow grease and profanity. Perfect combination!

How much clearance should there be between the pipe and exhaust? I am basically touching and I don't know if that will cause problems.
Which pipe? Don't quite get what you mean.
Did you get the bolts loose?
If all has failed use some wintergreen to break the corrosion or put some Phillips, Milk of Magnesium on it. It is gritty enough to help grip the bolt so it does not round out. This is a trick I used while on Active Duty to get engine exhaust hardware loose.
I did finally get everything loose when a buddy showed up.....Took a lot of WD40 and some prying! But now when I put the new pipe in, it is basically resting on the rear coil.
Had this issue with it laying basically on the rear-trackbar. Just start from the front of your exhaust tighten things down, and position them the way you want. When I took the time to hold the pieces where I wanted and tighten from there it did the trick.
