There are good instructions here:

I am not sure what studs you are talking about, but you need to remove the rear and front of the y-pipe pieces together. They can then be pulled apart.

Once you have the "U" shaped pipe (rear), and the front intake pipe off, the two nuts on top are the only thing holding it in place. After removing the two top nuts, the top should come off, unless it is "glued" in place.
The bottom section just bolts right up, and should come off fairly easily. Nothing tricky there.

to remove the pipe there should be a total of like 6 nuts. 2 of them to remove the cross over and 4 (2 per turbo) nuts. I think you can take that intake pipe off the rear turbo to get more room. The process should be relatively easy...

OK..
YOU need to remove 2 nuts from the y pipe to the crossover
then move secondary turbo intake tube that's attatched to the secondary turbo. Usually its tough if you have stock pre-cat (2 nuts).
Then you need to remove 2 nuts that holds the tube with CRV to the secondary turbo and 2 nuts that holds the efini-y to the primary turbo.
Then the whole thing will come off.
I do understand what POS7 is talking about.. You could remove the studs where y pipe and primary attatches. Which will let the y pipe to just slide out without removing anyother nuts. But removing those two studs aren't easy.
If you need pics, I have these parts all disassembled.

Not trying to be a ***** here, but if it's any harder than that and you can't figure it out, you may want to consider taking to a shop and let them do it.
If you do get the Y-pipe out and the two halves get seperated, you need to replace the O-ring in the middle, otherwise you could have a potential air leak.
