I got a Stranoparts bar installed last week (thanks Brady) and I had no plans on Sunday, so I decided to see if there were any AutoX events going on.

I found a Porsche Club event at Hershey Park so I decided to go up there. I'm glad I did, because the course was big, fast, and fun. We got six runs, I ended up with a 58.x, 55.5, 55.1 and 54.9, then I decided to play with the settings on the Koni's a bit to tune out some of the understeer and I ended up with a 53.9, and a 53.1 on my last two runs.

Here's my best run:

I think I left a lot of time out there, but the car felt great, I improved on every run, and I had an awesome time.

Glad to hear I still need to play with my KW's and adjust them

Was pulling my exhaust off a few hours ago and one of the studs from the header to the over pipe started to strip and finally snapped in half, put a bunch of heat on it and the stud wouldnt budge, so i dropped the header and im having a friend drill it out. Questions i have are has anyone else experiences so much rust this soon and two does the revworks uel have new studs or should i buy a new one from subaru. My revworks doesnt come in for atleast a month though

You're not the first to report that stud stripping/snapping. Mine were rusted pretty badly. Did you use any penetrating lube?

When i first broke it loose no, it spun freely until the nut got close to the end of the stud, when it got tight i backed it off and then sprayed it

OrbitalEllipses · 06-10-2013, 09:42 PM

Shit like that is exposed to the elements...use copious amounts of penetrating lubricant the night prior and the day of. Also, invest in some anti-seize to coat the stud with before re-installation.

The new header won't have studs, it will have holes in it so you can use nuts and bolts. None of the aftermarket stuff has studs. And some of the header and overpipe studs, no matter how much penetrating oil you use will break, I've done about 30 exhaust installs and had about 7-8 of them break or strip studs.
