ah-kay Thanks again,

So to clarify just that 10mm bolt and disconnecting the exhaust flange at the downpipe and the manifold assembly breaks free from the rest of the exhaust? to be pulled complete with head?

That is helpful rather than to break it down in car. Did you guys remove the (trap ox) replacement pipe (alum foil encased exhaust section) and if so are any gaskets involved that may need replacing?

winmutt, Still haven't started the project so no broken studs yet, and hoping to take my time with this effort to ensure as few headaches as possible, slow and steady.

Thanks for the advice, keep it coming the BTDT crowd, lessons learned, neat shortcuts. I've read the archives quite a bit, good advice there, but there is always more
