Exhaust Manifold gasket
 
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..
