exhaust manifold bolts

does anyone have any reconmendations on to where or what kind of exhaust manifold to buy cant find any at local auto parts stores and not much luck on google

Umm get on other DSM forums and read my friend. Stock is fine for low power goals. Otherwise Id suggest an FP mani. And you arent finding anything at a parts store other than stock. Look up Boostin Performance on Chitowndsm or call him at (630) 458-9600. He knows all you could want to and more.

I'm slightly confused by your title and post. Are you looking for a replacement manifold or replacement bolts?

 

looking for new bolts wen i bought my car 3 were missing their head and the manifold leaks because of this

Here is an OEM set.

 

thanks for the link

 

I found this, looks similar to my slowboyracing kit. Worked just fine.

free shipping too /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Basic 6bolt kit, similart to the slow boy racing kit

Stainless Steel kit - standard 6bolt kit

You may already know, but please use a torque wrench when putting these in!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

instead of using studs would i b able to use bolts since there easier to come by

You can do whatever you want but bolts will back out and are not really correct for the application. While they are easy to find they will be a pain in the ass in the long run.

Don't do things half assed becaue it WILL come back to bite you. Simple as that.

You'll most likely strip out the head if you use bolts to fasten the manifold. Much harder to strip those threads if a stud is threaded in hand tight and a nut is used to tighten down the manifold.

Hall of famer wisdom.

There is a good reason to use the studs as people have said. The Studs have a beveled shoulder which when tightened against the aluminum of the head forms a small bond which increases the possible torque load. In addition, the torque is spread out along the threads of the stud on both sides, not simply the flat section of the hex bolt head. This means the pressure exerted on the stud is less even though the clamping force is higher.

Use the studs. You can get them at NAPA.
