I have a small exhaust leak where the pipe meets the manifold on my '06 LJ. Am I correct in that there is no donut in there? There is a permanent "donut" cast into the manifold and the pipe fits over it, correct? Also, where do I find the pipe-to-manifold hardware? It *looks* like there's self retaining speed nuts clipped on the manifold...is that what they are? Rockauto doesn't seem to carry them. Of course everything is rusty enough that it can't be tightened so I'm looking at replacing all the hardware... Should I just cut off the old bolts and replace them with stainless?
