I just bought a 94 GS today.. 2.0 Non turbo..
I noticed the exhaust had a bit of a sputter to it, but didnt think much of it.. well upon further examination it appears that the top right stud has broken off inside the block..
I took it to an nearby exhuast shop and they told me its going to have to be drilled out, and have a new one threaded in which would be pricey cause its an aluminum head... $70/ hour plus the cost of the parts, so I have no idea how much this is going to run me if I have a shop do it...

are there any other options besides letting it sputter around? I dont have the tools to do it myself, I just moved in the OKC area and I dont have any connections with shops... it also appears the flange between the manifold and downpipe are leaking as well, so I will probably just replace the stock mani and DP with aftermarket headers as soon as I can..

I dont have a socket set, to take the manifold off. I dont have an ez out, I dont have a drill bit, and really dont want to run the risk of having an ez out break off in my head. Buying all the tools and parts would probably be the same as just having some random shop do it. Not trying to be an ass, just trying to find my options.

if theres are the only 2 options besides paying a shop to do it, I appreciate the help, I just dont have the tools to do so.
