Update on my Jetpro exhuast gasket leak

[rcgasser]

It is easy to ruin the threads in the head. If you install studs, you only have to take the nuts off. The studs never have to come out again.

Yes it is I have done that myself.

Up to you. I got a set because it makes gasket swapping a lot easier.

Regarding the stud from DDM, if I do order it what size would fit my OBR 5.5?

 

[Deluge]

Both sizes will fit. They're just different lengths. I went with the 35mm studs. If I ever swap pipes and have to run an X-port, I'll have plenty of space for it. Plus, you're paying $12 either way so you might as well get the most out of it.

I just cut the heads off two metric bolts and notch one end for a flat tip screw driver to install in the head.$2 at the hardware store and 5 minutes cutting off the heads.$12 is to pricey for 2 studs Imo.....

Good idea. Plus no waiting on the mail man.

if you want to run studs on a jetpro you have to dent in the sides of the header so you can fit the nuts on the studs, or do what I did and get a steel hpi header, cut the flange off and reweld it on the jetpro
