About 95% of the advice I've gotten is to leave it be, so that's what I plan to do for now. I can always take it off later. I am still going to blast it and hit it with some Eastwood manifold paint.

From my original set I think the only thing I could use some info on is what length and type of studs do I need for the exhaust pipe mounting studs that snapped off. 3/8-16, but a single thread the entire way, or two threaded sections w/ a built-in stop? And what length? Google just returns generic Dorman stud kits.

When I install the studs, am I supposed to hit em w/ red loctite?
