Why would the studs need to be replaced?

HMM, I dont know if that is my problem. Mac Supplies a sleeve that fits into the pipe that fills in any gap that could cause a leak. how much did it cost to have the studs replaced, and how did you isolate the leak to the driver side.

also if ur car is warmed up and ur exhaust is hot...you can hear the leak....

Hmmm.. I dont know. Mac didnt supply any new studs and doesnt have that anywhere in their directions. I'm gonna take a look at it on Saturday and hopefully I figure it out. Its just annoying as hell listening to it.

Yea. I bought my Bassani O/R x-pipe from a friend who had it on his 04 Mach 1 for like 2 months and he didn't give me any bolts or studs with it..just the x-pipe. So I am useing what was on my stock h-pipe.

i installed my used bassanni x with the old hardware that my car had. i had a leak on the passenger side. all i did was got a bigger ratchet and torqued the sh*t out of it. use them biceps if ya got em.
i just listend to that. it sounds normal to me. pop the hood start it up and if you smell exhaust gasses then you have a leak. if that doesnt work then do the soap in a spray bottle around the flanges and watch for bubbles.
