Studs On Rear Of Turbo Exhaust Housing

[DaveO74]

Got my R33 GTS-t High-Flow back yesterday and noticed that the two bottom studs have been removed.

Should I put new studs in and attach them to the dump pipe with the nuts or is using six bolts ok?

Cheers

Using 6 bolts is sweet man. the studs just make it easier to put on as theres something for the dump pipe to hang off while you get the nuts/bolts on

Having the 2 studs makes things easier to install in terms of keeping the gasket in the right position as well as aligning the dump pipe. Also, getting bolts in can sometimes be more difficult due to the curvature of the dump. I'd tend to use the studs myself.

How easy are the studs to put in?

This may sound silly but will I need a special tool so as to not damage the thread?

No.

Just wind them in by hand, put both nuts on it and lock them together tight. Then use the locked nuts to tighten like any bolt.
