Good luck with the PB blaster or Kroil (or 50% auto transmission fluid with 50% acetone) but have your dremil (or equivalent) ready. Its nice if the exhaust manifold bolts come out without breaking, but I have had to drill out a few and install helicoils. For the rest of the system be ready to cut the bolts if they won't come loose... and replace them with stainless steel bolts and brass nuts for reassembly. I install SS studs for the exhaust manifolds with the brass nuts.
