A question for those running ebay mani's

[Intothenight19]

I bought a new exhaust manifold (second one), and I need some longer studs for the t4 flange, because we all know you need damn spacers in order to run the thing without your comp housing hitting the damn runners..haha Now I bought my last studs from atp turbo, but they are pretty short and didn't hold up too well even being auto grade steel. Any other place to buy metric studs? I checked on summit and just saw tons of standard arp hardware.. Any references just let me know thanks guys.....

Go to any auto parts store.

They have what you need.

Or build a spacer similar to this.

I work at one part time, if they had what I needed I wouldn't have posted about this.

NAPA, Advanced Auto, Auto Zone... O-Reily's....

Pep Boys, commercial sales dept. They carry exhaust studs for some domestic mani's, I'll just go to ace hardware and get some hex head studs, thanks for the ideas though.

Yeah man.

The "HELP!" section at the stores I mentioned have standard and metric size studs. All combination of threads too.

Good luck.

Yeah I'll check it out because we have the HELP section your talking about, hopefully they have studs long enough to go through 2 spacers lol.. Thanks man

 

[MK3Brent]

No problem.

Yup.

Previously, before I made a bigger spacer for my GT4088, I ran x2 3/8" spacers on my manifold with the T-66, and I got my studs from NAPA I believe.

M8 or M10, I cannot remember.

10x1.25

its hard to find long enough around here. some use grade 8/10 threaded rod and cut it to length.
