Manifold studs
now i know this topic has been beatin to death but i have a couple ?????
I have one broken stud [lower rear] drivers side , and two broken studs [upper and lower rear] passenger side....I knew i had a slight tick but its hard to notice with my dual exhaust....should i double rush to get this fixed? The studs are broken even with the header flange so once the header is dropped there should be enough meat left to remove them.....Not to say the other 1s that are still intact wont snap inside the head when removing!!!lol!!! not sure im going to takle this myself b/c i can already forsee the frustration and f-bombs flying now.....i think im going to go with dorman oe mainifolds that come with the gasket and hardware since i cant justify header$ without the added performance....im def gunna do the spd y-pipe though.....should i get the stainless manifold bolts? and again should i rush into this repair?
