Looks good. Reason why I wanted to ask is that some forums had a big debate on studs vs factory so was curious. I have studs with copper nuts on my M3 and they’ve been great.

I do like that option as well if I can’t find the double end exhaust studs to just go with full threaded and cut the heads and retap the end. Will see what I can find tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion
