Can I change the intake manifold gaskets without removing the manifold? Also, can I remove the y-pipe in the studs and put standard bolts and nuts on them as replacement? If not how hard is it to remove the whole manifold on both sides in your driveway with very little hand tools?

It is not hard for an exhaust, but it may not come loose. You will need heat like a torch to heat the nuts to get them to break loose. Then if they break that is another problem. If you change intake gaskets take the manifold off.
