There goes the exhaust

Whilst i was riding out and about earlier my bike lost alot of power and the exhaust note became bery load, After pulling over and checking the bike i came across this.

Managed to get the bike back home safe but was loud lol

Looks like i'm gonna be buying a new downpipe for Â£180

Well got the downpipe off and the baffles inside and all broken.

Just brought a second hand complete exhaust system (downpipe, silencer and hanger) for the price of Â£36 delivered.

Is it best to replace the manifold stud and nuts with new ones or not as the old ones undone ok
