Is SS worth it?

[perley03]

Im looking to buy new manifold studs. I got on Slowboy's website and they have the SS version for $10 more. Is it worth it, or should i just get the replacement ones?
Also, what exhaust mani gasket should i get, the factory replacement or the "upgraded" one that slowboy sells?

I like the SS studs better then the stock bolts, I thought it was easier to get everything on with them. And also with the exhaust gasket I'd go with the four layer one, I think that's the upgraded one that you were talking about.

Get the SS studs. You'll thank yourself should you ever have to pull that manifold off again.

Get the SS studs, and I always opt for the better gaskets too.
Its just good insurance

Totally agree. Seriously, im not expert when it comes to pulling off the manifold but holy crap have i broken some bolts that are just a pain the a** because you have to go buy new ones. If they were stainless they wouldn't have rusted. Well okay after 15 years the might .

I would highly recommend http://www.ssstuds.com/ for the exhaust manifold studs. I bought their ss intake and exhaust manifold studs and was very pleased. Cheapest price I found on the net, free shipping, and they are a sponsor on this site.

Get the 4 layer exhaust manifold gasket (MR323654) at a dealer that offers a DSM discount. I got mine at Rockville Mitsubishi http://mitsupartsdirect.com/ for $10.78.
