bought the parts so now I just gotta hope that he can salvage the manifolds and it will be a relatively cheap fix

Check this out...No amount of PB Blaster was going to get the studs out of this one because the idiot welded it back together once before... So in the end I only had to replace one manifold and a Y pipe so just under 250 not to bad....

How about stainless steel cans and muffler clamps. "Restore" engine treatment comes in a stainless can that works great as an exhaust patch. Wont rust away either.
