Default Help!!! Advice needed!

Ok like I said in one of my earlier posts, I broke some of the bolts that mount the end of the headers to the y pipe. Well I got em all drilled out and bolted back up 5 of 6 of them. But, if anyone has ever broken the bottom bolt on the passenger side then how the hell do I get a bolt back in there! There is like 1/2 inch of clearance on the back side of the hole making it impossible to get a bolt there. Someone help me because I only have 2 bolts on that side and if anyone has done that before than you know that the exhaust leak is terrible. Thanks for all replies! But even with my leak I still was able to put about 5 car lengths on a pesky 01 4.6 gt that thought he was bad...lol. But I want 6 lengths damn it.

You could try a short piece of theaded rod and a nut on each side. I'm not quite sure what your problem is, but this might work if it is what I'm thinking.

I give 2v mustangs the brush off these days. It's rediculous when you put a procharger on one and they are only up to par with LSx cars in the HP department. The 4v 4.6's are respectable at times, but the 2v's just sound mean.

Well I found a bolt that instead of dropping in from the top i could just push in from the bottom and barely squeeze my hand in to put a nut on top. No more exhaust leak! and plus I got alot back in the power dept. Thanks to anyone who looked or responded.
