Hi All –
Getting ready to order new exhaust studs for the 6 conversion. I need to measure the flanges on my headers, then make the call. Anything to stay away from in terms of stock vs stainless, etc etc etc? Aren’t they just M8-1.25’s? I know even my local Ace Harware had them in various lengths – but I don’t know what they were made of. Thanks!!! Scott S (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

NEVER use stainless fasteners for exhaust applications! There are embrittlement issues that will make you VERY sorry. I recommend OE replacement studs and the stock nuts. You'll need a set of 8mm flat washers, as well. I wouldn't buy them from your local FLAPS or hardware store. You have one break off and you'll have a mess on your hands. You probably don't own the drill fixture needed to do the repair in the car.
