Thank you! BTW if anyone with a E46 has hesitation, stalling under hard acceleration and stalls to limp mode. It's the Catalytic Converter. Easy way to check is to remove the two wideband sensors and see if problem goes away. If it does it's cats

A tip : you can watch movies at Flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.

What good is this video?

[@gegervary]

It looks all easy and stuff but HOW to fasten the nuts onto the studs? If I only install the studs snug, the new nuts will be so tight that they will end up turning the studs even more until the studs do nothing but turn on themselves. I'm freaking out, I don't want to strip the threads or anything. I would appreciate any tip.

Do you happen to know the pitch of the M10 bolts that mount the rest of the exhaust to the manifold? Great video. Thank you!

[@reshadamiry8639]

How did you removed the bolts that are at the bottom of the manifold?

[@jakofall79]

What is the part number for the bolts, and do they sell the original studs

[@isrealperez9069]

How long it takes to do the job as a beginner
