Pretty common to break off exhaust bolts in many applications. The LS series of motors uses a small manifold fastener and after many heat cycles will break, or break off coming out.
The old BBC would do it as well. The manifold would heat up and warp. That is why some guys would cut them in spots to reduce the chance of the warping breaking bolts. It would generally happen when you went to take them off to fix a leak, which was also common because of no gasket from the factory.6.0 broken exhaust manifold bolt
You are just messing with different stuff.
