I have a 2004 wrangler with the 4.0


I am currently trying to fix a broken stud on my exhaust manifold and running into some issues finding replacements. The broken stud attaches the downpipe/catalytic converters to the manifold. I have pulled the Cats off and pulled off the clip nut that the broken stud is in and after some digging I'm wondering how this is attached from the factory.

My manifold has the clip nuts on it them studs screwed into that with a nut on them. I can find the clip nuts here but when i look for the studs I only get a bolt that goes into it? Is the stud and nuts I have on mine not factory? if they are factory where can I find replacements?

Pictures below is clip with broken stud and the stud and nut out of one of the other clip nuts


Thanks for the help!

They're bolts. Get some Mopar from Rock Auto and after installation, goop the exposed threads with high temp anti-seize.
