Please Help! Snapped stud and exhaust mani question

[deity]

Alright so I had a 95 B18b1 swapped into my DA9 and after the swap I noticed that the far bottom left stud that connects the exhaust manifold to the head was missing. All of the other studs are there and the header is on tight to the gasket. Apparently it snapped off during the swap. I was told not to worry about the one stud because it would not really affect anything. I was told that the work it would need trying to fix it by drilling/ re tapping was not really worth it and that having one missing stud was not going to create a leak.

Is this true? I just want some other opinions. Later down the line I plan on going ls/vtec with a B16 head so im not too worried, but I want my car to last untill then with as little problems.

Please if anyone has any kinda knowledge on this give me a reply.

Man the biggest problem I would see you having in the long run would be maybe a small exhaust leak. I def wouldnt mess with trying to fix something that small, dont worry about it until it actually causes a problem. I cant count the number of times I have tried to fix little stuff on my cars and it caused another problem, just let it ride!!!

Yeah thats what i figured. The only real problem I could see having is a small loss of back pressure, but im not exactly racing it yet...lol only 115 mph sometimes. But like I said the head is eventually coming off so I can put on a b16 or b18c with ITR cams. Wanna open her up and port her ass to get her to breath so I can force 10-11 lbs of JSRC boost. GOD I WISH I HAD FUCKING MONEY!! Everything takes so damn long!
