Exclamation exhaust leak at the manifold

so i have an exhaust leak at the manifold, i have 2 broken bolts on the left and 2 on the right, was wondering if anyone has had this problem before and was wondering a rough estimate of how much it would be to fix, and if i can just do it myself.

This is a very common problem, it happens a lot. You can definitely fix it yourself. Take out the wheel liners and you will have good access. You can either get an easy out to get the broken bolt out (recommended), or take all the bolts out, lift off the manifold and the broken ones will probably screw right out. If you do that you may have to replace the gasket then, so I wouldn't really recommend that way. Its an easy enough job. There are plenty of threads around with pictures and whatnot, so do a search if you need more info.
