Each exhaust port has one stud/nut and one bolt.  Everything else is
bolts with nuts except...hmmm, isn't there a bracket with a stud
that's part of one of the pipes?  Up here in the land of chlorides I
used to build that bracket up with weld metal so there would be
something to rust.  I also used to fill in the vee where the
collector brings two pipes into one.  That and the multitude of
struts (7?) and muffler support bracket were better handled in the 2.1l.

Yrs,
