Exhaust manifold to y-pipe stud

[shoRunner]

anyone know where I can get a new or replacement. Its the thing the nut screws onto when connecting the y-pipe to exhaust manifold. Mine got unscrewed when i was trying to take the nut off because the nut was so stuck to it, it came out instead of the nut.

I got replacements at Ford.

why not just screw it back in with the nut still on it? thats what I did when that same thing happened to me...

yeah I'll was planning on doing that...but I just like to know everthing is right with my car, and it seemed like something cheap and easy to fix to make better.

Shorunner,

Put in a new stud with anti-sieze compound. Then use brass nuts and a brass washer. Cover any remaining threads with additional brass nuts with anti-sieze and you will not have the same problem the next time. rangerj

I had 2 of the 4 studs break when I put on my new y-pipe this weekend.

The bolt/stud you need is a Metric 10. I used 4 new 45mm long bolts with Loctite and it is nice and snug.
