[Shotimes] y pipe removal/installation

[Robert Bruce]

Ahhh.  One more reason the atx is better than an mtx.  There is plenty of
room with the atx to remove either manifold.

I have heard that it's near-impossible to get the rear manifold off with the
engine in the car.

I took the manifold off and used a cutting torch to heat the manifold
up. Then I put the vice grips on the broken stud and worked it back and
forth until it came out. The only big PITA part was getting the manifold
out due to the oil filter being in the way. I didn't have to take the
other side off so I couldn't tell you how easy/hard that would be.
