Exhaust manifold number 2
2hour job and it is in this condition....

this type manifold will be able to spool up much larger turbo in diesel....

What material are the studs made from? Studs like that with cut threads are not as strong as studs with rolled threads.

studs are made from 12.9 bolts... by local bolt shop
i know that cut thread is weaker but that is quite minor problem
