Deep joy !!!!

Might be an idea to replace all the studs with the best quality you can find locally and disc-cut through the webs on the exhaust manifold casting before re-installation. This helps to reduce the possibility of warping apparently.

Good luck

If you are lucky it might just be the flex joint on the downpipe that's failing, check it for sooting.

Thought you replaced them all last time? What make did you replace them with? Is yours remapped?

I've lost a stud at the front of the manifold that needs doing but its not whistling yet.

I have done once with normal studs done about 28000 miles since and mine has been remapped

Which stud have you lost this time? An end one?

I'm tempted to open mine out to M10 studs (standard is M8?) as I will be remapping mine too.

Same one as I've lost.

I'm thinking I'll open out the front and rearmost 2 (4 studs total) as they are the ones that seem to go most often. Then replace the others with new standard size studs.

I think with mine it might have come lose or it has warped
