exhaust manifold studs

I have been searching through parts magazines, and surfing online, for a good set of exhaust manifold studs, bc one of the ones on my 420a sheered off, it was the damdest thing...

back when i first got the car, i was running it a few times on a closed off road, and stopped and checked under the hood for something or another, and as I was looking...PING!

i was like, wtf was that, and almost 2 seconds afterwards, i heard something hit the ground by my feet, so i looked and got ready to pick up the object, and realized what it was....so i picked it up with a pair of grips, and sure enough, it was a sheered off exhaust mani stud.

Ive been searching all along for a set of these little boogers, and usually if i find soem they are not for my specific car, and usually the sets that i find for other cars are about 2-3 bucks for a set of 12 or whatever...

just 5 mins ago i randomly ran across this:

now, im curious, as to why these are significantly higher priced than the ones ive been finding, or is just bc its ARP, and also, if ay of you know from experience, if these will fit my car...

Thanks!

Nobody knows anything about these?

Yes those are expensive because they are ARP. Advance auto sells exhaust studs. You dont need any that are 420a specific. Just M8x1.25 thread. They are even on the shelf

so, its not a matter of needing sometig stronger than stock...unless i just wanna spend the extra cash on it...

maybe they ALL just need replacing...

You shouldnt need anything stronger than stock. If they continue to break maybe you should upgrade them.

I dont own a 420a, but I too was having problems popping exhaust manifold studs.

I upgraded to ARP stainless exhaust studs.....they work awesome! No more problems.

Ironic I broke one of mine yesterday

I highly recommend the ARP's. I take my manifold off, what feels like once a week. Havent had any problems with my studs, they're great.
