I’ve taken exhaust manifold bolts off about 4 different LS1 cars and never had an issue? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Are they seized? How many miles on the car?

I only broke one of mine off during my header install. Sucks but when I my dealership done it, they replaced the entire manifold. I am sure you can drill it out and have a bolt welded back in place.
