Somebody probably over-tightened them. Or defective bolts.
2004 Service Manual specifies only 18ft/lb for all exhaust manifold bolts and studs, and 72in/lbs minus 45 degrees for heat shield nuts.

Yea thats the only thing i can think of, its just odd how they would suddeny break like that.
I ordered new bolts and studs from my dealer and a new gasket, i should get it fixed tommorow. I hate driving around with it sounding like that untill it warms up. Anyways thanks for the torque specs.
