my friends bolts broke off on his truck, the guys at the dealer said they replaced a few like that, if thats any help. It depends on your want and ability to get the bolts out

VERY common....
Find someone who can weld a nut onto the broken stud, and take it there.
I'd try to replace both manifolds, all studs/nuts, and the manifold to egr tube at once. The bolt/nut that connects the manifold to the exhaust is special too.
It ain't cheap!
