I thought those broken studs were related to removal of the headers from engine?

I've installed 2 Top Speed exhaust on 2 986s. I did have a weld crack on the first one,2 months before the 2 year warranty expired. Board sponsor Che,took care of me though.

Other then that it's cake to remove and reinstall,except for trying to get those damn clamps off the 'j' tube to realign all the old parts on the new muffler. Just hit them with a rubber mallet over and over. You don't even need to remove the rear bumper to R & R the Top Speed exhaust.

And almost all the bolts & nuts were old and rusty on both cars I've done it to,don't be scared.
