Will im pretty sick of this megan manifold that was on the car when i got it. Leaks leaks leaks. Nuts backing out on the studs etc etc. Would it be best if I swapped the studs for some new ones that are stainless? Factory manifold is en route to Buschur and they got a 3 week return time. Just looking to get all the parts together before I tackle the job of removing the manifold. Next question do I need to remove the downpipe to get this exhaust manifold off or can I just unbolt and pry? I got a bolt broke off in the o2 housing I gotta get out so it wont be that bad if I gotta do it. I might just upgrade the o2 housing as well :P

 

bump keep the factory stuff or swap for stainless?
