Subject:2.1 Engine Exhaust Stud/Bolt Questions?
From:Philip Zimmerman
Date:Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:22:07 -0700

Time for some preventative maintenance on the proverbial rusting
exhaust system!
Presently running a stock 2.1 exhaust system with OEM Pipes and Hangers.

Anyone using 8-M8x38mm studs on the block verses the more common,
4-Studs & 4-M8x30mm Bolts used in the stock configuration?

I'm concerned about interference issues. I do understand the (OEM)
Bolt/Stud set-up is for ease of installation and all. Installing either
the front/rear pipes onto four fixed studs, may be a real pain, let
alone a near-impossible set-up to work with, given the tight spaces in
this region of the engine compartment. What are your experiences?

Rusting in Campbell River, BC.....

regards

Phil Z.
