If you are on standard manifold, you'll need to lube up all nuts and bolts with plus gas dismantling lubricant and let it soak a while first. You also may need to apply heat when dismantling as they can be a pig to get apart. Also handy to get a few exhaust studs to hand just incase they are needed. Also you'll need new gaskets to suit and 3-4 bags of patience!!! All in all fairly easy just a bit akward.

Just wondered as it might be a good time to get your headers ported
