I use the pet porsche part number and found I can get OEM exhaust studs from the sacred porsche warehouse for abou 8$ a piece (plus shipping)

does anyone know another source and should I be looking for a specific hardness if I go non-oem?

I'd love to buy them from GPR or pelican if there is an aftermarket alternative that is less $
(can't imagine this has to be a made-in-germany type item to work)

anybody been there or found them reasonably?

Question #2: Who sells the repair studs? 9mm on one side 8 on the other?

Did you check the vendors you mentioned? If they don't have what you need, I know that AutoAtlanta has them. Jake Raby may also sell these individually. JoeO

I searched and searched with the search engine (raby, auto atlanta who did show them, gpr's drop boxes, and pelican)
then went to porsche and got the porsche number and searched again
looks like they can get factory ones, but couldn't find a "cheaper, non factory option"

I'll make phone calls tuesday
I'll bet a bunch of people have these but just don't show them on the website



anybody know what the correct hardness should be?
would too hard turn brittle with all of the heat
there is a bolt store I can go to on tuesday and get something but I'm afraid of non-automotive hardness problems

Found em here step studs.. Bus exhaust stud. CIP has them but they're outta stock.

The last time I needed them, I went to my local ACE Hardware. They have those pull out shelves with all sorts of fastners. I bought 12 "Metric Exhaust Studs" for the six. They haven't broken yet. I measured the length of my existing and went for it.

Thank you!
I didn't even think of CIP


thanks Ron... I might try my local place on tuesday

I bought my last ones from Raby. They may not list them on the site, bu the has them.

BTW, zucchini parmesan is really good. Ask Sharon for her recipe at RRC.

+1 on Ace/True Value Hardware.

+2 on ace. Plated and better than oem IMO.
