Bruce,since the new manifold was beefier were the exhaust passages the same size as the old one?
appears they are the same diameter according to the gaskets

They keep the bolt tight during heating and cooling cycles and prevent breaking the bolts when the exhaust manifold expands.
The longer bolt doesn't stretch in one small section, but over the length of the bolt making a much longer life hardware in such extreme  environments

Bruce did all the hardware remove okay? Nice to have this put behind you. Looks good.

Good to hear. Glad to see you replaced hardware. So I understand it came with a lifetime warranty on installation. Broken off flush exhaust hardware is no fun at all. But I've made a lot of money over the years removing them  :)
