<DIV class=RTE>So I foolishly thought it would be a simple fix...</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I have a leak in my exhaust where a manifold has either deteriorated or blown out (the cause I'm thinking of my idling issues).&nbsp; I bought a new one to replace it thinking I could just undue the exhaust bolts, slide the old one out and slide the new one in.&nbsp; Of course, however, my exhaust, although replaced about 4 years ago is all rusty now and the bolts are basically parts of the pipes now.&nbsp; Any tips on how I should proceed?&nbsp; </DIV>

<DIV class=RTE>Thanks in advance,</DIV>
