When attempting to unbolt the stock Y-pipe off the exhaust manifold, one of the studs broke
Aside from having to do a helio coil treatment, has anyone in this situation tired this ‘Clamp-A-Stud’? Does it work for the Max or any other suggestions?

Thanks!

 

What is it, a c-clamp that just stays in place?

Drill out the stud, replace with either a new stud or a nut and bolt. Why do you want to take the half-assed approach?

 

Unfortunately the stud broke off kind of flush (but not exactly, protrudes a little and uneven face) to the manifold making it very hard to drill out; did take a few attempts at that. Also, the location is very hard to reach without taking it to a shop to work on a lift and having to disassemble everything, which I am looking to avoid $$. The two other bolts are good keeping everything in order but there’s just a small exhaust leak and this seems like a good temporary/fixed solution.

 

Bump, anyone else lucky enough to brake off an exhaust manifold stud?

 

I did, 2 of them..

Takes only a few minutes with the car up on a lift to drill them out and replace with a nut and bolt setup.
