Anyone use bolts instead of studs on the crossover pipe

[ZavzTy547]

So, I stripped the screw-in studs, taking off my crossover pipe and what a pain it was to get them off.

I'd rather avoid installing studs altogether, so I was curious if anyone changed out the studs and used manifiold bolts instead?

If so, what bolts did you use ARP or?

Tks.

We used SS socket head cap screws after the studs broke.

So are they 8mm head cap SS bolts/screws? Seems like a good option. How are they holding up?
