does anyone make stainless steel exhaust studs?
subject line says all... am getting a pair of "cast headers" for my
Stude project and would like to use stainless studs with brass nuts for the manifold to downpipe connection. The stock pieces used coarse thread on the manifold end and fine on the flange end. Does anyone make anything like this or is my best option to get some stainless all thread and use coarse thread nuts? thanks, nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

Steel nuts would rust tight to the studs; worst case you can burn brass ones off with a torch. nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

I thought the deal with exhaust bolts or studs was they had to be
hardened. Grade 8. I'm not sure they have to be but then why are they? SS? May work fine but you can also use lots of Anti-seize. Unless this vehicle is used off road it will last for many years. I've had to mess with many old manifolds that were swapped around several times and there wouldn't of been a problem if only Anti-seize had been used. |

It's more of an appearance thing than anything else. I'm planning on gasket-matching them and cleaning them up and then sending them off to be Jet-Hot coated. I just dislike any visible rust in an engine compartment. The manifold to head fasteners are bolts and I've already procured those in stainless. The manifold to downpipe studs tend to look awful after the first few heat cycles. I understand that this isn't necessarily a functional problem (although I certainly have drilled out my share of these) if anti-seize is used, but more of a cosmetic one. I will have to drop ARP a line, couldn't tell if they offered exactly what I'm looking for. I think the GM studs are intended for a "donut" type gasket, what I have is a thin, flat gasket with a flange so the studs are much shorter. That could obviously be worked around though *if* they are fully threaded or close to it. nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

I'm not sure they have to be but then why are they? seems like a bad idea; in my cheap scavenger days i used a couple of random bolts to fasten the exhaust pipe flange to the manifold flange; one of them turned out to be grade 8, as i discovered later on when i tried to separate them, and i couldn't unfasten them, and i couldn't cut the grade 8 bolt. |

Most Fords have some kind of stainless or inconel studs in them. Of course they are metric. They also are a big pain in the butt when you try to torch them. |
