Haha see other thread, god I don't mean to sound like Ned Negative but to be effed over by fasteners is the most vexing irritant known to man. There is a lot of pressure on a manifold, hope the helio holds. Thing is the lower splined nuts on the cat convertor are the ones causing major problems at the moment. First time ever using mapp gas, not impressed one bit..

As long as their installed properly, and there's enough "meat" to drill the hole over-size, thread inserts will be stronger than the original Aluminum threads.

Along with its close cousin the Cayman, there are a vast number of exhaust systems for the 987 being produced. Unfortunately, most of the highly regarded "tuners" have departed the 986 platform, and have shifted their focus mainly on the 987. It may be worth your while to check out the Planet-9.com website. There you will find an almost limitless number of posts on the topic.
