I bought the maddad EL headers and uppipe and went to install them last night. I must have drank too much beer because I broke more studs in my new car than I have on my 510. Nobody has tge carrect studs so all I can do is run some bolts up from the bottom of the uppipe flange. Anybody elose have this problem?

Tomei headers and upipe went on pretty easily but we did have problems getting the stock header to upipe bolts out so we disconnected the upipe from the turbo and took it all out as one piece.

This uppipe is a three bolt flange the stocker on the 08 sti is only two. I might have just intalled the headers if they matched up. Then do the uppipe when I did the DP.

Did you get tuned for the headers? How did you like tham after the install compaired to stock?

Sorry read your PM first but I sent you all the info I got from my protune in your PM. I only ran them for 4 days without the protune and I am glad I didnt run them longer, they were not compatible with the cobb stage 2 map I was running at all.

you can do bolt/nuts...but if that's not how the car came, i wouldn't change it meaning buy new studs i had to buy some when i put my car back to stock.

The bolts really dont bother me. They are better than what came with the header and better than factory as far as strength. I got it finished last nite so far so good. They really smoothed out the car. Interior dba is down noticably. Cant wait for a dp and tune next.

bolts worked fine for me

I went from the bottom of the flange up to the turbo. The two brackets that hold the turbo and uppipe to the block got studs.
