Manifold to y-pipe bolts snapped

[powerplantranger]

How hard is it gonna be for me to drill out the snapped bolts with the manifold still in place?? Any suggestions? It's on a 2.9.

Might help but yeah its a pain in the ass! If you decide to take the manifolds to get to them instead, be very very careful. Use heat and penitrating fluid (kroil!). Search TRS like crazy before you start.

Good luck man

So i got the passenger side loose with no problem, but when it let loose the y-pipe broke off right at the y.. Completely.. Uhhh, could this have caused my crappy gas milage and loss of top end???? I can't do pics from this phone to show y'all. B
