Anyone have a part number for the popular Saturn exhaust manifold studs. I am putting on a new to me head this weekend and figured I would switch the studs to the Saturn one while I'm at it. Part numbers always make it easier when going to the parts counter. Also I assume that Saturn only uses 1 type of exhaust manifold stud - correct.

Thanks,

Saturn pn 11518152

And similar ones from NAPA part# 264-346

excuse my ignorance, But why do you want to go to those studs?

are they stronger, longer, lighter?

I don't seem to remember having a problem taking them off with the stock studs?

The Saturn studs have a male torx head so you can turn them in or out without double nutting. And you don't need the torx wrench cuz a 6mm 6-pt socket does the trick. Or is it 5mm, I forget and I just did it 2 weeks ago. Middle age is setting in. It's awful needing reading glasses to work under the car.

I took off a set of headers on Monday with out removing any studs. How much are these studs? Are they cheaper than the approx $3.00 per Porsche studs? That would be a very good reason to change.

I think I paid ~$8.00 for a complete set.

951Boost,
Any chance you have a different P/N for NAPA? When I brought them that P/N, they couldn't find anything close.

Thanks,
