I only use OEM quality studs for the exhaust manifolds on Saabs and Volvos (yes, Volvo 200/700 turbos have big problems too).
Even though they do break after many years of use, they are still superior to many aftermarket metal blends that circulates.
It is a hellish enviroment that they live in with heat cycles galore and if a softer/weaker metal stud is used the problems will come back even quicker.
I have actually not seen one yet that I converted to short studs where the outer ones have broken.
I have also not seen any cracked manifolds due to the use of shorter studs.
