Sounds like your PO switched the studs to bolts.

  Subject: [VANAGON] Broken Exhaust Manifold Bolts

  In removing my exhaust manifolds from my 86 Westy Weekender, one bolt broke off in the head.  Does anyone have any tips on the best way to drill them out?  I was not planning on removing the head and the position is awkward for clean drilling.
   
  Also does anyone know why two pipes are attached with bolts and two with studs and nuts?
