i have a little bit of a deli ma...went and got tail pipes put on today...drove the car home..(80 mile drive) and as i was entering Hilliard it started whistling at the passengers side collector.. its lose again and the stud snapped before so i just use d nut and bolt to pull them together hence the first reason it leaked...so can i put in new header studs without removing the header? i have big hands so its hard enough to get my hands up there as it is....would it be easier to just remove the header?

this is for the passenger side...the stud closest to the block snapped.... by the starter

If the pipe is out of the way, there should be no problem getting the stud up there. You'll need either a stud puller/installer or a couple of nuts to thread onto it to drive it in though.
