hi,

just wondering ""roughly"" how long would it take to swap the exhaust manifold?

im going to be getting some quotes for prices and tinmes. but dont want them saying 5hours when it can be done in 2!!

ive tried doing it myself on the driveway but i just dont have the right tools for the job.

thanks
steve

 

By "exhaust manifold" you are talking about the complete manifold from the cylinder heads to the turbo, yes? If so it can be done in two hours assuming skilled mechanics and no rusted up bolts. However, if you're removing an OE Subaru manifold on a car much older than a couple of years, there will be rusted up/rounded off bolts, so could be nearer your second guess.

 

hi thanks for the reply,

its an MY03. yes manifold and up-pipe. ive already removed the intercooler and turbo(they're easy) its just akward to do on a driveway without an impact wrench and decent head clearance to look underneath!!
