Help with flange stud. Its all broke n' stuff
So ive been driving around my 87 iroc 5.7 with an exhaust leak for a bit now.
I put it up in the air, and tried to tighten the drivers side exhaust manifold flange bolts.
I realized its loose because one of the studs is completely stripped.
Anybody know a good/easy way solving this issue?
the leak is so bad i cant drive the car without smelling like i just mowed the lawn.
I cant imagine getting a tap and die set would work too well without removing the entire manifold, which id like to avoid if possible.
ANY IDEAS?

Nothing easy about that drill and tap might be able to go though wheel well to get it done with out removing manifold but it its been leaking gaskets are shot so your going to want to remove it anyways time for an upgrade get some headers
