My 1985 300D-T came with a tapped hole...
...in the exhaust manifold. See the pictures I posted in the following thread:
Where's the boost???
If yours does not have such a thing (unique to California version w/trap ox?), you will have to do the drill/tap thing. Some posters here have suggested that coating the drill and tap with heavy grease will trap the chips and keep them out of the manifold but I would be leery of trusting in such a scheme. The only other alternative would be to pull the manifold.
