Re: Exhaust studs.

My JX was blowing across the manifold every since I got it because someone snapped a stud in the head and rather than fixing it, bodged it with sealant meaning I ended up having a new head fitted.

Hopefully when I come to fit a stainless exhaust this year, it won't cost me so much money!
