How to change you Exhaust Manifold
Time: 30mins - 2 hours depending on your mech lvl!
Step 1: Make sure the car is some what cool, or else bolts might brake!
Step 2: Take off heat shield! There are 3 bolts on top and 1 bolt towards the front of the car!
Step 3: Take off all bolts that connects the manifold to the block total of 9 bolts! there are 2 on the side, 4 on top, 3 on the bottom. The bottom bolts is kind of hard to see you will need a extension on the right one!
Take of the 4 nuts thats connected the manifold to the turbo!
Step 4: Jack up the car
Step 5: Take off the lower arm bar + down pipe
Step 5.1: For stock lower arm bars, there are 4 bolts that is connects the 2 bars to the body, just un-bolt those and take off the lower arm bar.
Step 5.2: For DP, there are 2 bolts that is connected to the cat, take those off. There are 2 bolts that is connected to the 02 housing, take those off! Theres also 2 bolts thats holding the dp on the hangers! take those off.
Step 6: there is a L shape bracket that is that is holding the 02 housing > turbo > manifold, you just need to take off the bolt that is connected to the body.
Step 7: Now the manifold is lose enough for you to pull out! Dont be scared to be rough w/ your car!
Step 7.5: By taking off the bracket it should give you enough room to take the manifold out, but you still can't then remove the bottom intercooler hoses!!
Step 8 +++: now just reverse the whole process!
