£300 ~ I have been quoted to remove one broken bolt from my exhaust manifold, apparently it will entail a minimum of 2 hours work to remove the headers and get at the offending sheered off bolt.

Does this sound about right? I'd have thought that with the car up on a lift and all the pro kit it would take about an hour tops?

Back story:

My car is an Impreza GL (non turbo)

2 years or more ago when my borla replica unequal headers were fitted a stud / bolt was seized and it got snapped in the process of trying to free the old equal headers.

I believe the original gasket was reused with lashings of gasket paste for good measure. Last week for the first time in about 9 months I started the car up, and found it to now be blowing, the place i took it too today said yes there is one broken bolt, and another missing one.
