Saturn Exhaust Mannifold studs

Possible replacement for exhaust manifold studs which will permit you to remove studs for easier exh. mannifold removal: Saturn p/n 11518152 under $10 for a set. The Saturn studs have a male torx head so you can turn them in or out without double nutting. And you don't need the torx wrench cuz a 6mm 6-pt socket does the trick. Or is it 5mm? Middle age is setting in. I hope you can access this photo:

BMW nuts are about $2.50 EACH and you need 9. Not in my budget for a one-time-use item.

i also upgraded to ss studs. cost more, but i consider it cheap insurance. the bmw nuts NEVER come off by themselves, but when you need to, they are easy to remove, and i have reused them. the "shoulder" is really big and thick. they fit perfect.
