Are exhaust studs worth it?

Is it worth converting to studs while im doing the gaskets or just stick with the bolts?

I asked this question a while ago and the answer was 'No'. There is very limited space between the manifolds and the tub which would mean there probably isn't even enough room to get the manifolds over the studs.

Ok, sounds like trouble, any idea where to get new bolts then? Also any tips on removing the manifolds? Should I have the pre cats out whaile im at it?
