Best place to buy exhaust/turbo bolts?

[Sephroth57]

i need to replace some crappy and broken bolts for my downpipe, o2 housing, and turbo. i looked at SSStuds.com and theyre kind weird bolts they dont have heads?? whats the deal with that. or should i see if its cheaper to get OEM bolts from conicelli, do i really need stainless ones?

try slowboyracing.com and they sell new hardware. as far as downpipe and such bolts go just go to home depot.. get some nice 10mm x 20mm x 1mm bolts with washers and nuts and you're good to go

Home depot seems to me like a bad idea for bolts that are going near the manifold/o2 housing. Personally your gonna want the heat treated bolts just to be safe if you were me.
But then again... I'm a weirdo so do as you wish

I'm running a few "Home Depot special" bolts here and there, and they're all doing fine.

Where at?

I'm saying I wouldn't run them in the o2 housing or somewhere like that as long as it didn't get to hot but according to when I called home depot they told me they didn't sell heat resistant studs/bolts of that sort so I just picked up a few at the JY (junkyard).

I bought a set of those for my car, all you have to do to install them is put two nuts on the one end (longer threaded area) and tighten the nuts to each other and then use the nuts to tighten them in.

Kinda ghetto, how else do you propose to get your eh. mani studs in? Ever check out the stock ones? But to answer your original question, it would be a good idea to replace them due to the fact that they go through so many heat cycles that they become brittle after time. Soak the crap out of them with WD40 or any other type of penetrating oil (I sprayed mine off and on for like 3 days before I took them out and none broke) before removal. I did see the ones that have the broached head, those were sweet, but also not available for my car. Good luck with your search and replacement.
