ZD30 Exhaust studs

[LEXUSGS300]

Hi Guys

I am just putting all the accessories back onto a reconditioned ZD30 before it goes back in my 2002 Patrol and was wondering if I need to change the studs on the exhaust outlet for the manifold. Someone suggested putting in new ones but my old ones are not rusty and in good condition. Should I just replace them with new ones?

Thanks

Hey mate when we did roofys motor we chucked new ones on. Probably could get away with old ones but i would chuck new ones on if it we're me may as well as is apart and everything else is new i reckon. Remember the inlet manifold had us stumped for a while as they're a combination of studs and bolts, we assumed they were all studs and were looking everywhere for them!
