I lost a nut on my exhaust manifold/down pipe flange connection and therefore blew out the gasket. no big deal 3 nuts (well now 2) and 30 mins should do the trick, that is untill I went to remove one of the other two nuts and the whole stud came out with it. What I need to know is if any store (auto parts store or otherwise) that anyone knows about stocks and sells those studs? I need to get the car fixed tonight and would rather not put the old stud back in if I can avoid it. Just for clarification these are not the exhaust manifold studs from the head the are the ones at the connection for the downpipe. Thanks in advance for all your help.


oh and if it helps at all I am living in the Frederick Md area. I have an advance Auto parts nearby that I am going to call and a lowes as well. Any further help would be hugely appreciated. Thanks
