Thinking about installing headers?
Ok, well this is a never ending problem. Since I broke one of my front y-pipe bolts, the car has a MAJOR exhaust leak. Now I can't get the y-pipe out, unless I use a torch, but since I broke that bolt it won't really matter. If I can get everything off with out breaking any bolts(which would be close to impossible) then I could take the exhaust manifold to my work and possible get the broken bolt out and thread a new one in. Now thats one possiblity, that would be cheap, but no gaurentees. I could also somehow come up with about 800$ to buy TPIS ceramic coated headers, and sell the y-pipe and that would all work, but be very expensive! So Im basically stuck for now, with no vette, more importantly no transportation! I don't know which way to go, any one have any ideas? Or tips on removing the front y-pipe, exhaust manifolds, or installing headers? TIA

. Hookers w/o the front Y pipe would only be around $500. Or...you can look on eBay for a stock exhaust manifold. Those usually sell for a bit less.

The hookers are a great header. I am installing them on my car now. One bad thing is that last bolt on the passanger side is kind of a pain.
