For bellowed up-pipes- will the bolts come loose or do it cut them off?
I remember hearing that some suggested just cutting the bolts on the original up-pipes. I haven't really taken a good look yet, but was wondering if they will unbolt or just cut them.

The ones at the exhaust manifold are thru-bolts and nuts. You might just be able to snap them off by tightening. Or cut them off. The ones at the turbo inlet are threaded into it, so those are a bit more problematic. If you have the turbo off, you could just get out the sawzall and pull the remnants out the top.
No need to worry about saving them by trying to unbolt, cause you have new hardware in the kit.
Spray the lower bolts and nuts with WD-40 everyday for a couple of weeks and they should come off fairly easy. If your pipes were like mine they will fall out of the collecter and if you really need the bolts take them out once you have the collecter off the turbo. The bellowed up-pipe kit comes with every thing you need to complete the job no need to save any of the old stuff.
