That was me (original idea by evilgmc).

Ive got them on my truck right now. They work well.

Do a search for my username and header studs. The part numbers that I posted up I found out were actually superseded, but if you take the numbers to GM parts center, they will know what you need. When I originally bought the nuts I thought I got ripped off because they were $17, I said wtf. But they are actually special nuts, triangular in shape with some kind of threadlocker on them.

here ya go


Studs: 10182325 QTY: 12
Nuts: 11517031 QTY: 12

They come in packs of 5, so we will need 3 packs. Using studs will make putting the headers on some much freaking easier. I can't tell you the frustration I've had at times trying to hold the header flange up, lining up the gasket, and sticking the first bolt in all at the same time...

The only thing I can recommend is to trim the ends off the studs where there is no thread. I found them to be a little long which was annoying during the install. But it was nice to not have to worry about balancing the gasket, header and trying to start a bolt all at the same time. And also I wont risk breaking off a bolt in the head anymore.

No, now you'll break a stud lol...J/K

Actually, something that I've seen happen with exhaust studs is the nut rusts to the stud and when you go to remove it, the whole stud comes out just like a one piece bolt would. Not a big deal really, still better than breaking a bolt
