Who uses ARP header studs

I'm about to install kooks 1 7/8 headers (with kooks true duals)and would like to use the arp header studs, So I don't have to work about breaking bolts or cross threading from pulling off and on. My question is what part number. I have searched but read they make a few different sizes. Texas speed sells 434-1301 but want to get the correct ones. Also is there enough room on a 02 t/a to install the studs and slide the headers on them or to tight to do that and have to hold the header and scew the studs in with the header in place?

I have the ones from TSP and they work great. The only time I've had to remove a few of them was when I took the heads off.

I used stainless ones from eBay, they are holding up great so far, $30. I couldn't justify spending that much on the ARP ones when they will only see 18 ft-lbs.

I use them, makes it a lot easier to hang your headers if you are doing the job solo!

After I got sick of the stockers, and not wanting the Stage 8 with those goofy *** clips, I went with Percy's split lock. Pain in the *** to manage those little allen heads and the bolts rust. $60 down the drain IMO. I am now running a stainless bolt from an ebay seller. They were a nice graded bolt. Looks like the guy bought in bulk and just bagged em up in sets. Been super happy with them and they were like 15-20 bucks. $100 is too much to spend for studs unless your headers are gonna be R+R a ton of times.
