Exhaust Manifold Hardware
As everyone knows the heat does some ugly things to the exhaust hardware. So I am looking for the expert opinion: should I use stainless nuts and bolts to improve the life and appearance? Maybe there is something better? Sometimes stainless is not the best material option so I am wondering if anyone has some experience with the materials used for exhaust hardware. Thanks, Rob

Re: Exhaust Manifold Hardware
Stainless will just turn blue and funky... Bout painted with high temp bolts?

Re: Exhaust Manifold Hardware
Just use CAD plated grade 8's with a quality anti-seize. Stainless is a b*tch to remove after being heated and cooled, heated and cooled for years.

Re: Exhaust Manifold Hardware
Thanks for the good feedback. I thought stainless might be a bad choice, but just wanted some confirmation. I'm going for the grade 8 hardware!
