turbo noise or exhaust leak?

The reason the bolts break is usually because the bolt holes in the manifold aren't big enough. There's an ancient TSB regarding this and also mentioned on this forum somewhere.

Don't try to take the slip joints apart that isn't your problem. The only way I've ever been able to get them apart is with a LOT of heat and then they don't ever like to seal back up again.
