James Bond 007 JUL 29, 10:36 AM Befor Installing, you may want to grind out the metal flange inside each exhaust port.This will increase your HP slightly. Allso be carefull when removeing the truk lid,theres loads of pressure on the hindge and you coud bust out the rear windows (dont remove the security bolts). mrfiero JUL 29, 03:28 PM quote Originally posted by darcfyre: $75 sounds good.

Or does that weaken the flange excessively? If you could remove the lower bolts but only loosen the top, you'd have a much easier time I'd think. darcfyre JUL 29, 08:55 PM Ordered from mrfiero. Does anyone have the exact list of parts links to order so the shop will have everything they need? mrfiero JUL 29, 10:32 PM quote Originally posted by darcfyre: Ordered from mrfiero.

I could not find the new gasket, otherwise I would have thrown that in for you.....sorry. jjd2296 NOV 25, 08:11 AM I’m about to undertake this but I want to clarify one pint in Dennis instructions. Where am I placing the Jack stands if I’m losing the rear cradle bolts (trunk side) in order to properly support the car and let the cradle tilt at the same time? 82-T/A [At Work] NOV 25, 11:27 AM Is there a recommendation for replacement exhaust manifold bolts after the old ones have been removed? Anyone know if ARP studs might be a better solution / option? lateFormula NOV 25, 12:35 PM All this talk of removing the decklid, or removing cradle bolts and lowering the cradle. Nahh. If you put the car up in the air on jackstands, this job can be done from underneath the car. But to do this you need to remove the AC compressor from the bracket if you have AC, and also remove the Y pipe. Both of these can be done from above before you raise the car up. As for replacement hardware, here's my suggestion: Buy one of these to chase the threads in all the mounting holes in the heads before you start re-installing the manifolds. https://www.mcmaster.com/8305A59/ Then buy three of these: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/arp-761-1002. If you want to retain the factory heat shields you will need some M8 x 1.25 x 50mm studs and a package of these: https://www.mcmaster.com/93033A102/ Remember, when using stainless steel fasteners you ALWAYS need to coat the threads with anti-seize!
