How hard is it to install i new manifold gasket? I'm just worried im going to break a bolt or something and then have to get the cylinder heads drilled out. I'm guessing you can just take out the bolts, pull the old one out and pop a new one in? I'm also considering just swapping the stock manifolds for headers, will just headers make much of a difference power wise and sound wise with the rest of the exhaust being stock? Thanks

i just replaced mine on my 94 a few weeks ago..and really i was thinkin alot like what u thought before i started..but they all just came right out no problems...and ya i just figured if there out any way might as well upgrade..as for sound difference on stock exhaust..cant comment cuz the rest of my exhaust was already different when i put them on..but it did change my tone when im cruising and its a little louded at wot...my advice tho is if you upgrade go withsomething that has a solid flange across the entire four tubes and not a single flange for each tube..that way if you ever have to remove them they wont have any chance of warping..

just move whatever crap outta the way necessary..unbolt header..slide new gasket in and reverse to install
