The two flanges are not a slip fit. They but up against each other with a gasket in between them. If you only see a hex head on the cat side, then it is either a nut attached to a stud from the resonator side or a bolt threaded into the flange on the resonator side. Mine had the resonator replaced before I bought the car so the flanges had holes on both sides with a bolt and a nut holding them together.

Well I cut through the hex head on cat side, and it is for sure not a nut (no thread). On the resonator side I ground flush to backside of flange, and it must be threaded into resonator flange as the flange will not break loose.
I will keep grinding and cutting till it comes loose, just a very strange joint with no clearence holes in the flanges.
When done I guess I will have two holes in each flange.

I ground down flush with flange on both sides, and still do not see a hole. You can see the ring of the bolt on both flanges, but will not break. Guessing it is a pressed in stud on one side and threaded flange hole on other, but no way this could be.

You might have to drill out the cat side to attach the bolt for your new cat back. Sounds like it might have rusted together.
