i am about to take my exhaust manifold off of my 97 gst, and to me it looks like imma snap a few of them. not that i want to, but they're so rusted, it looks inevitable. So i was wondering, if there is a place for me to get the manifold studs and nuts, just in case I do snap one or 4 of them,lol i'd rather be safe then sorry

 

You probably wont snap them, just soak them w/ some pb blaster the night before u pull he manifold off. As for harware just get some from the dealer. I get a lot of my"dealer" itemsfrom jnztuning.com.

 

Hit it with some pb plaster or liquid wrench numerous time. Work the nuts slowly using a back and forth action. Loosen it and then tighten back up what you gained. Go very slowly. Slow is the key. When i did teh header on my rs, i couldn't even see the threads of the stud. I soaked the nut numerous times, did what i told you to do and i ended up not breaking any studs.

 

yeah i already hit them with pb blaster, but was just wondering just in case, and yeah these look horrible, and all rusted out, but i'll try the back and forth

 

didnt see any bolts on jnz, might call the dealer just in case
