Help! could only get 3 studs installed

Hey All,

I installed a new downpipe( M2 ) over the weekend and was unable to get all 4 of the studs re-installed. The one that wouldnt go in is on the bottom left hand side as your looking from the passenger side of the car. Because of the way the pipe bends the nut wouldnt go onto the stud. What should I do? will it be ok like this?

Thanks,

Matthew Walsh

it will leak. i had to put it on first. holding the pipe just feed the bolt over the stud and let it bring the dp flush with the turbo. then put the other bolts on.
