Hi manifolds can be a complete pain to remove as bolts get seized. They are also expensive to replace as you wil replace risers and elbows at the same time. You can generally tell when manifold is leaking back, as you will get a missfire, if you take spark plugs out you may see signs of rust on affected plugs.
