Manufactured by :
The Porsche 911 997 Gen 1 GT2 Titanium manifold studs have been designed as a perfect replacement to the OEM steel bolts that badly corrode when installed in the Porsche aluminium cylinder heads.
The steel from the bolt and the aluminium head are dissimilar metals and as such a galvanic reaction occurs which effectively fuses the bolt into the aluminium head.
When the time comes to carry out some maintenance that requires the exhaust manifold or exhaust header to be removed from the cylinder heads the bolts, however carefully removed often snap off.
