Just snug them up, and tighten, if needed. If you over tighten them, you'll drive the studs in further damaging the gasket behind the flange. Those studs are a royal PITA to remove, if the gasket goes.

 

Will you get an exhaust leak if this happens?

4" straight pipe seems to whistle quite well.

 

Yup, and no cats.

It just signs out to the Police when you stomp on it.

 

30 FT/LB on the nuts to the ball studs.


The top stud on the drivers side is the worst to get to, I would suggest a mid length socket and it is 6 point

 

Thanks guys

 

Very disappointed in turbo sounds with these solo catless downpipes. All the clips I hear they whistle loud. To be honest mine does not have that wow factor that I hear.

 

If you still have the factory resonator, have that removed and you'll hear the turbo whistle (with rear window rolled down) even with the stock muffler.

A flow-through muffler will increase it further. But it may be loud in WOT.

Yea you need some sort of exhaust if you want those turbos to sing...

 

i did my catless DP's had to remove both studs from pass side on turbo (not horrible to do) my turbos sing with the exhaust i have..

 

They're probably fine unless you have an idiot at a dealership use an impact gun on the nuts. They actually stripped one nut on. A map torch, two nuts, and a lock washer finally took the studs out.

 

Which solo muffler did you go with? Seems there are 3 different ones. I don't want drone at all and I still want to be able to carry on a conversation on the highway. I don't like loud like I used too. Getting old I guess

 

It is the Mach 46 muffler, quietest one. It's only loud when I floor it. And I love the sound at full throttle.
