ok, went to the toyota dealer, the studs they had were far too big of a diamater (and too short if i recall). ended up getting new ones @ the local porsche dealer, they look to be forged instead of cast, or at least, a far higher grade of hardware than the ones i had before. now it's a matter of drilling out the old ones (ugh. not fun) -- but is anyone aware if any other porsche (911 maybe?) uses a stud with the allen / hex end like someone thought the toyota did? i'm likely going to have to pull these to install the header, so i want to avoid problems like i'm having now w/ breaking etc...

I just ordered some from the Toyota dealer, get the studs for a Rav 4.

All they had in stock were the big ones like you said.

Try the Saturn dealer....really!
They have the perfect exhaust stud with a torx type head (you can get the right socket at just about any discount parts shop - Autozone, Pep Boys...)
