Exhaust doesn't need removal to swap mounts. But I'll be shoulder-deep in that area, especially the passenger side (see below). There are a dozen methods if you poke around on YT. My favorite methods I've seen:

Driver side: Steering shaft comes out and exhaust heat shield loosened. Mount can be snaked out and replaced.

Passenger side: Starter, oil dip stick tube, fender liner and exhaust heat shield come out completely.

Upgrading the manifold bolts now, at 120k miles, seems like a good idea, before more break. All it adds to the driver side work is pulling the fender liner for better access. And if I pull the passenger side manifold off, I may not have to remove the starter to swap the mount, so there's that.

Or maybe it's too late, some of the bolts are nearly broken in the head, and I'm about to bite off more than I can chew. It's probably that, lol. "Nine hundred bucks, you say?...hmm".

For the driver side, I unbolted the steering shaft and laid it to the side. I worked from the top and through the fender opening since I didn't wanna be under it and constantly get stuff in my eyes and mouth.

Passenger side, I didn't remove anything other than the mount.

Or at least put them on the correct side as in ‘98 Tahoe as opposed to 98’ Tahoe. That one is fuked up all the time on this site and drives me nuts. Oh, you have a 98 foot Tahoe? Daaammmmnnn that’s long. Every time I see it I can’t help but read it as a foot. Maybe my construction background is to blame but come on man.

I read it as "foot" every time. The Yeti had a 13' Accord. The only Accord that was close to 13' was the first gen hatchback at 13.5'.

Dude, you'd piss yourself if you saw how quick they cancel stuff here.

Any other NC folks here can vouch though, it's not the snow we sorry about. Its the ice. Snow falls here and often melts and turns to slush. The best part is when we get a yankee who relocates down here, cusses at us for not being able to drive in this weather, then they flip they Prius over when they hit the ice.

I don't mind snow. I despise ice. I work for Emergency Services.....
I lived there for 6 months and it was winter. A slight dusting of snow and I showed up to work and no one was there or on the roads. Drove back home and took the day. Unreal!
