Its common,to snap exhaust to downpipe bolts.
I always drill out downpipes and nut and bolt it, when refittimg exhaust.

No, I snapped all 4 on the rear of the cat's going into the centre pipes! Yes, I will drill them, not the biggest problem I have right now!

dont forget mate -if you need help-got hoist and cam locking kit-if required-

[cwill144]

As mine is a slight blow could I get away with just tightening the nuts? and when you say I can change the gasket without removing the manifold I would obviously have to remove the studs.

Is there a maintance guide on removing the manifolds?
