Catalytic Converter with Welded Studs?
I need to replace the exhaust manifold / catalytic converter on my 99 Civic LX.
I am looking at the Walker 82444 since I am in CA.
For some reason, the studs linking the cat to the exhaust pipe are welded to the flange.
That seems very strange to me. What is the advantage of doing that?
What if the thread on these welded bolts ever gets damaged?
