Have you tried Sharky? He used to sell the intake studs, not sure he did exhaust studs or not.

Sharky47's website doesn't exist anymore and a while back he sold everything only through Rennbay and Rennbay are out - Maybe he has stopped making stuff

ARP makes SS metric studs. I have them on my 951 and LS-6.

Sharky is bogged down with work and not producing anyting right now. It is unclear when new parts will be made.
We will be offering some alternative stainless exhaust stud kits in the next couple of weeks. They are rolled studs and not machined so they will be a bit stronger though they will lack the allen key socket on the ends.

Thanks Jeremy.

Does anyone know the sizes I need for intake/exhaust studs, they don't list the 944 but they do list these metric sizes:

M8 x 1.25 x 32mm
M8 x 1.25 x 38mm
M8 x 1.25 x 45mm
M8 x 1.25 x 51mm
M8 x 1.25 x 57mm

Problem is while stainless studs offer a corrosion advantage, the allen key heads are a real help when you remove the heads on these cars. If I am replacing the studs I really would only consider the allen head version.

I hope Sharky starts to produce them for you again.

I ordered two sets to see which will fit best. ARP Kit #'s:

8-pack 400-8011 (32mm) To replace 30mm exhaust
8-pack 400-8012 (38mm) To replace 35mm intake
