So my temp sensor went bad and the only way to get to it is to remove the crossover pipe. while doing this i got all but one bolt out. the last one snapped. after i got everything back together, i now have another problem.
The loudest annoying exhaust leak ever. my question is how can i fix it without ripping everything apart? The way it sits now it is impossible to fix. there is no room at all. if i got another bolt i wouldn't be able to hold the back side of it to tighten it.
Any ideas?

 

If you disconnect your TB and undo the dog-bones on your car, you can rock the engine forward a few inches, and it might be easier to get down to it.

 

well i finally decided to try and fix it today and the only thing i did was make it worse. I tried takin the other bolt off and who would of knew. It snapped right off. I tried everything and the only way it seems possible is to pull the motor.

This SUCKSSSSS

 

So what you're saying is two bolts that attached the crossover to the back exhaust manifold snapped off?

Just remove the rear exhaust manifold (the bolts will be fairly tough to remove), unbolt the downpipe, unbolt the crossover from the front manifold. Remove the rear manifold & crossover, then you'll need to drill out the broken bolts (if they're still in the manifold). If they're not in the manifold, you just need two new bolts.

 

Have you tried pulling the manifolds? That seems a little extreme to have to pull the engine for something minor like that- I'd rather cut it out of there and put headers in their place before I'd pull the engine.

Maybe you can remove the downpipe and drop the rear manifold with the crossover out the bottom?
