help on headers

[flyboy86]

So I was installing my new O/R h-pipe today, and one of the bolts holding it onto the header sheared off when I was trying to take off the old midpipe. So right now, the new h-pipe is being held on with one bolt on the driver's side. My question is this, how can that stud be fixed, how much will it cost to get fixed, or do I just buy new headers? I've considered new headers, because I will be buying a KB in under a month, but the KB will be soaking up most of my available funds. Suggestions?

Probably be better to get the new headers. You'd have to take the old one out, have that broken stud removed and then put it back on only to take it back off when you upgrade. Does it leak? If not, ride it till you get new ones. No sense repairing the old one when it's coming back off.

Let me clarify a little.... I'm not for sure going to replace the headers. I'm either going to fix the stud, or replace them. I'm just wondering how much cheaper it will be to pay someone to fix the stud, compared to me buying new headers and installing them myself.

had to replace a stud when i did the midpipe on the mach. took it to the local exhaust shop and they swapped it for a new one for $50.
