225/slant 6 exhaust bolts broken

Are you talking about the studs that hold the exhaust manifold to the head or are you talking about the two bolts that attach the exhaust pipe to the bottom of the exhaust manifold? Either way, it does not cost $250 to repair them. If your hubby has a drill then he can go buy an extractor (little drill bit thing) and extract the broken studs/bolts himself. There are how-to videos on youtube that show how easy it can be done. Make sure there is plenty of lubricant sprayed on the broken bolts and let it soak overnight.
