Exclamation Broke bolt off in headers

I broke off a bolt in headers where the y-pipe connects to the bottom left headers. What would be my best option to either get the bolt out or to replace my headers?

What would be the best performance headers out on the market with the factory hook ups?

thanks

So you were taking off your bolts that connect to the manifolds and y-pipe, broke one and you're asking now what?

Yea, get some headers

if you broke the stud in the exhaust manifold flange (near bottom) just get out the vise grips and oxy acetlene torch heat it up cherry red and it will twist right out. i broke 3 of mine

That will probably the best thing that i could do. Im going to remove the exhaust manifold to replace the gasket anyway.

Thanks Again
