Exhaust manifold - replacement bolts or studs
Hi guys,
After the X got loud recently, I found I have 4 broken exhaust manifold studs.
My Excursion is parked outside year around, and we have had record rain here this year. Is is always damp outside.
I want to go with stainless steel replacements.
Now the question, bolts or studs??
Does one have an advantage over the other? Which would be easier for reinstallation?
Whoops on the "bolts" in the poll. I ment to say, "like they did them back in the day."

I'm going with the stainless studs and thinking of using anti-seize on them. Should It be used on the end that goes into the head or just on the threads that hold the nuts?
