Removal of the mounting studs is tricky as the tend to snap when force is applied. See here studs with nuts in place: https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3752/...0768f091_h.jpg
Take care when removing by not using air tools if possible and pre-soak with penetrating spray such as PB blaster or WD-40.

the shop who installed the down pipes broke two studs one on each side. Then it’s really a pain to try and get those out lol.

so far NO ISSUES with studs, and I don't understand at all why should be such .... except smell of fuel and bigger fuel consumption, but this might be related to FVD flash

During a recent service at my local Porsche Service Center, the technician found two broken off studs in an underbody panel. He told me they were from the exhaust/turbo manifold, but that he could not replace them without dropping the engine (not accessible). The PSC did not recommend addressing this at this time as they claim there are more than enough studs remaining to hold everything tight and no signs of any leakage. The car was in Colorado, where winter temperatures can drop quite a lot...
Have any of you had similar experiences? Should I be worried about this?

Old down pipes for sale. You can easily take these stocks to a decent cab shop and they can cut out the cat material for a fraction. If the price as it would cost for new down pipes.

I know this is an older thread, but hoping to hear some more info...
I am looking at getting a set of Racing Dynamics DT w/o cats. From other's experience that run DP w/o cats, does the check engine light come on?
I have a scan tool and can reset, but not wanting to do this all the time...
