header studs alternative?
header studs alternative? hey guys about to pick up some header studs to replace the stock bolts i have in my exhaust set up, besides the $100 ARP studs, is there a alternative or another company that offers studs for lsx engines?
That's right, I was communicating with them directly via email, because I wanted Stage 8 locking nuts/washers and studs. They were going to sell me a set, but I forgot how much they wanted.
Have you tried calling Fastenal? Here lately I've been changing out some of the nuts and bolts on my 02 Camaro, but instead of buying high dollar replacement I've been getting the sizes I need and using either grade 8 or 10.9-12.9 fasteners. They are re-usable because they don't torque to yield. Just an inexpensive thought. ARP will send you the correct size but it will be costly, do your own leg work and find the sizes you need and save a bundle. Just my $.02. 
I found it, for anyone that wants a cheaper way to do header studs, they are EXACTLY the same size just need to purchase nuts and washers, here ya go https://monsterfastener.com/itemview.aspx?itm=DES-044
