    by my experience,it's usually easiest to cut the bolts off the flange between the manifold and exhaust

    Yea that's what I was thinking. I got 2 bolts out and the 3rd one will not break lose. So that's prob what I'm gonna have to do. You no where I can find another 22r for cheap?

    a little propane torch on those things and they will loosen right up most of the time.
