Need: M42 exhaust manifold

[E30 Wagen]

I need an exhaust manifold for a m42 engine. Studs must be rust free, and overall must be in good, stock condition. If anybody has a stock muffler I may also be interested.

I have the manifold, but the studs are in the head of the engine, not the manifold.

I'm talking about the studs on the end of the downpipe that the cat bolts onto. I suppose they could be called 'bolts' too.

I have never come across any of those studs that were rust free.

gotcha...sorry my manifold has those drilled, I was just using stanless steel hex bolts with washers and nuts

I have one too. LMK if you don't work something out with others.

the bottom collector of the manifold is made up of 3 parts of steel plate. You can grind off the spot welds and remove the first layer that the studs are spot welded to. Then simply run your own hardware to bolt up the rest of the exhaust.
