If the studs snapped at the surface of manafold, you will have to drill out those studs. If there are still something left from them you can try to loosen them with very strong grips, but I doubt. Kinda not easy. Dont hammer them, 16V manafold costs a fortune, even used. But you might need to visit junkyard to get replacement studs, I doubt dealer have them, they might kindly sell you whole manafold though. > I think the problem is that when I had my downpipe replaced last march > the repair -guy broke one (maybe 2) of the 6 studs that hold the About engine roar, my 16V roars quite loud when it goes past 3500rpms especially since airbox mod.
