man i am pissed off! those stupid studs are weak! i was at the muffler shop getting my doughnut gasket checked because it was leaking, the guy broke off my stud trying to tighten it up, i was stuck for like 3 hours while he tapped it out. that was about a month ago, today i took my turbo and manifold off because i got some insulating wrap from "COOL IT ThermoTec". i got everything fixed up nice and neat, i was planing on finding some rice burners to smoke tonight but the very last nut i was tighting up was those dam studs, snaped the other old one right off. now im stuck. i just wanted to let everyone know, be carefull with those studs, unless you have new ones i would just go to a muffler shop, you will probaly get some new ones put in for free when they break them.
