    Folks,

    Just finished fixing a leak from my exhaust manifold to the front pipe; not bad at all....EXCEPT!!!

    1) Buy the Toyota donut; it will be expensive, but it's the only way the exhaust will go back together (I gave up grinding the aftermarket one)
    2) Buy nuts for the Dorman kit (675-221 Exhaust Bolt Spring Kit); use a punch to knock out the welded on nuts.
    3) Tried to use penetrating fluid; fail. 30 seconds with a torch; bingo, came out in 1 piece.

    Downside is the car is too quiet; I can hear all the squeaks from the the suspension.
