I am swapping an L32, 04-05 GTP motor.

And There was a leak in the head gasket somewhere, also there was water on the LIM as well as the UPPER IM.

BTW GILBY!

you can see your headers in the pic above however the Y pipe is welded to the rest of the exhaust, so I am not sure How I am gonna get it off as of right now, while I cant move the car, but there are your headers.

just cut the ypipe off in front of the cat, then he would just need to get it welded back on like yours is now. no biggy

NO! not die grinder!
I tried to get adaptors or just cutoff wheel grinding stones FOR MY AIR DIE GRINDER but never found any.
Get a Cutoff Wheel tool itself. $30 at Harbor Freight
Wish I had a plasma torch

cutting torch, if you dont have one of those, you can use a cigarette lighter. ( may take longer )
