Message: [QUOTE="Lt.Dan, post: 1395630, member: 24137"] Hey guys, so i got this new collector for the turbo today, and noticed it didnt come with any studs for the bottom. No problem, as i would prefer to use regular bolts to make install/removal a little easier. My only question is, what style bolts do you guys think would work best? We have a bolt guy come to our shop once a week, and i was thinking of getting a low profile allen head bolt like this guy: [ATTACH=full]166086[/ATTACH] Im thinking the allen head bolt because i think access would be a breeze with a set of socket allens with the ball end like these: [ATTACH=full]166087[/ATTACH] But they come in either a black oxide coating, or regular zinc coating. Which would be best for this application? The tensile strength is the same at around 115,000 psi for both, the black oxide has been treated for hardness, but the zinc has been treated for corrosion resistance. Would one be better than the other? I noticed in the up-pipe bolt kit that RiffRaff sent me, they are all black oxide. Should i stick with those, or is there an even better bolt i should be using?
