Exhaust manifold retorque

[unspankable]

Hello all,
I have a p0420 code and I'm trying to eliminate a potential exhaust manifold leak.
Do you have to remove the cowl and the crossover pipe to be able to check the torque on the exhaust manifold studs or can you do it without removing these parts?
Thanks much

Yes, you will, but it's not that hard. Look at a video for changing the turbo, that will show the process.

Thanks guys,
I did the s280 install myself so I'm familiar, just wondered if there was a work-around to avoid removal since nothing has to come out of the bay.
