ok i have a b16a2 and the original exhaust manifold has 7 bolts (4 top 3 bottom)and 2 studs (1 on each side) on the outsides of the manifold in putting the HKS exhaust manifold on for my turbo the bottom inner bolt holes have no room for my bolts to be put in due to the bending of the manifold... does anyone have any part numbers as to studs that i can get and use instead?

what if i was to use a dremel to dremel the manifold down a lil bit to make room? would it be safe because the manifold is pretty thick..

 

I don't have part numbers handy but any 8mm studs will work fine, either some oem exhaust manifold studs or get some 8mm automotive studs from the local hardware store.

I'd be cautious to dremel the manifold. I think uniformity of the manifold wall thickness is more important than fastener clearance.

 

lol yah i dont really wanna dremel the manifold either.. but the original manifold bolts are 12mm so wouldnt i need 12 mm studs?
