Default help, what do i do!?!?

i was putting a bassani x-pipe and bulllet exhaust on. i pb blastered the heck out of the collector bolts, but two of them snapped off with little or no effort

they look like they are studs and can be replaced...they have like a sort of bolt head on them. my question is #1 is this true #2 are they reverse thead #3 any suggestions on getting these little @#$%'s out?

where can i get these from...is this one of those chevy parts where i have to buy the whole manifold to get them!?!?

thanks in advance,

chad

Default Bolts

Heat is the answer.Oxy/acetylene torch and heat the bolt/stud to cherry red and it should turn right out. get the correct replacement from the dealer.Chuck.
