Ok here's the deal. I broke one bolt on each side (that connects the headers to the stock h pipe) while removing the stock pipe. I broke about 1/4" off. Will there be enough give on the new X pipe to still be able to use those broke off studs, or am I gonna have to remove the headers and get new studs put in? I hate to remove the headers and risk breaking them bolts off. Thanks for any help.

Go to your local auto parts store and get new studs. For $1.30 a piece, it it worth it, trust me.
