Nameless header install

Damn rust in Atlantic Canada.

Trying to unbolt the intake manifold from the downpipe... First of all can't get my ratchet in there because of the cat and tried to take the cat heatshiekf off but that's rusted a bunch.

On the way to my buddies to get a 14mm wrench while the bolt loosner soaks in a bit too.

Going to try warming the car up to heat up the bolts when I get back.

Any other ideas?

I have no idea how your intake manifold became bolted to the downpipe but you might want to check on that first...

as far as rusted bolts, PB Blaster is above and beyond the best...

A ratcheting box wrench made very short work of getting the bolts loose for me.
