I was told by a buddy of mine about a new way to fix the broken exhaust manifold bolts in my 2003 silverado. There is a bracket that clamps on over the bolts, so you don't have to struggle to remove them or take your truck into a shop and have the whole thing replaced. They're affordable parts and only took about and hour to install. Both of ours have been working great and I have nothing bad to say about the engineering and quality of them. They are K.A.P. exhaust manifold both repair kits. Works like a charm and no more annoying ticking.

 

I've been looking at some of these recently actually. I am glad you have so much to say about them... This will probably be my #1 choice
