Exhaust Manifold Issue
Andy of A&A Corvettes has offered, FREE of CHARGE, a stock set of exhaust manifolds shipped to my door!!!! Thanks Andy!!!!
I dropped the exhaust last Sunday so I could bleed the clutch and had a mishap or two :(
One of the bolts snapped off each side of the exhaust manifold where it ties into the cats.
Does anyone know if they can be extricated and replaced with the manifolds still in place or will I have to tear off the intake manifold, etc. and remove them to do the repair?

Re: Exhaust Manifold Issue (Mean Green)
I have TONS of manifolds with the studs in tact. You are welcome to them at N/C. It's probably easier to change them rather than try to drill and tap the holes for new studs. They are HARD bolts. :cheers:

Damn dude, I wish I would have known. I've got a set sitting in the garage that you can have. If you just need the studs, I can pull them off and mail them to you :yesnod:
