...and to feel better I'm posting that one of my Sprint downpipe bolts snapped when I was undoing it, the only one you can't get at from the rear, and I've spent most of the day attempting to drill it out, and even brand new "drill through anything these will guv!" cobalt drill bits only go a few mm and then stop as if I've hit wurtzite boron nitride. Arghhh, ffs, grrrr!!! Plan B, use 'spare manifold' if the manifold bolts don't all snap in half as well, harumph!
