Has anyone replaced the exhaust manifold studs with bolts? if so, any particular kind/rating? any pros/cons that I should think about?

Only recently found out about running brass nuts...exhaust guy said it was the only way to fly
Cons: You can't hang the manifold and intake from the studs while installing making it harder, If the bolt gets stuck in the head you more than likely will snap it off in the head. Studs allow you to use brass nuts, if the nut freezes to the stud you can easily just strip it off without harming the studs.
Pros: Bolts are cheaper otherwise I can't think of any...
Cool tip, haven't heard of that before. Are metric nuts easy to come by?
Nah, easy to find, just castrate a few monkeys from Europe!
