I recently acquired a collector for the ATS 088 kit on my IDI from a fellow forum member, thank you very much, and need to find studs for it. What material should I purchase the studs. Should I also replace the exhaust manifold bolts? What material should they be? Stainless? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks to everyone that has responded and a special shout out to icanfixall and typ4 you guys are awesome.

I was going to say that you should ask Typ4 what he recommends as he has great experience with this. They say our manifold bolts are application specific but I have reused them with good success.

your welcome, DO NOT use stainless, its too soft. Grade 8 flange bolts work great on the manifolds, lots of copper anti sieze, and I have been using big block chev rocker studs for the crossover flange studs.
