header studs?

hi guys,
i ordered a pair of hooker 2055 shorties and was thinking about how to mount them. what are the pro & cons of studs and do i have enough clearance to use them with these headers? any input would be appreciated. thanks

Re: header studs?

It more than likely will not work because you probably won't have enough room to slip the headers over the studs... Bolts work fine and are less expensive... use them.

I used the kit which accompanies the 2055's (though I used a different gasket). The bolts have been fine.
