Yep. that's exactly what mine did.

Just changed the right side manifold (original was warped) and two studs. Wow..what a PITA!!! Purrs like a kitten now though, so worth the effort.

If you guys do my manifold and want them stock and really cheap go to rock auto.com and there like 60-70 each and there made by dorman and did I mention fast and shipping I spent 150 dollars for both headers shipped to my house

Mattloz...what do you think of the quality of the Dorman's manifolds? I've heard the build quality is questionable.

They didn't look too bad you can tell it came form a mold but looks good if you spend the time sanding it down smooth and then Painting it will come out good I didn't sand mine I just cleaned it and now I'm painting them straight how there are and I'm doing it with heavy coats but for stock manifolds there a lot cheaper than autozone or advance or other parts store I found it way cheaper on rock auto so that's why I bough it and if I had the money I would of bought shorty headers instead
