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" items from 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
