Default LONG TUBES

I recieved my Lts yesterday, they came with 12 bolts unstead of 12 nuts, because the mustang has studs. The only way I no how to put them on is by using the studs from the motor that are holding on my stock headers now. Can somebody please tell me that is right!

I just realized that you can take those studs out, I am glad an exhuast shop is doing all this for me

I just reused the studs. I think another guy (l shizzle) on here did the same thing as well.

some guys use bolt, some keep the stock studs. i used two bolts because a flange was angled funny on my LT weld. make sure you buy a new manifold gasket.
