Help on removing stock exhaust manifold

I'm looking for tips on removing the stock exhaust manifold on a 2008 Exige 240S.

I just started but I think it's going to be difficult.

Thanks for any tips.

Thank you, but I need to know what tools and procedure they used to get to the bolts and nuts out.

I'm just using hand tools.

I just pulled mine off a few days ago and actually getting the stock silencer to separate from the rest of system was the worst part. After the clamp was really loose, I soaked the area with a penetrating fluid, then used a soft hammer to bang on the silencer to get it off.

BUT, it was much easier to get it to move when the right side rubber hangers were just loose and not fully removed. When I removed them, the silencer drops down binding the joint I was trying to loosen.

Anyway, it helped me. Just hang in there.
