I've got a ported EVO O2 housing that I broke the stud off of when I was taking the exhaiust off. I drilled the old stud out for the most part. I was wondering if it would be better to have a new stud welded in or should I get a new housing? Its really annoyingly loud and I decided to finally take care of it so I need some opinions. Thanks!

I'm using an EVO 02 housing and don't even have the right stud in there. Drill it out good and big, like 7/16 or so. Then get a 3/8 bolt and cut the head off. Put nuts on each end with locks and you'll be all set. That's now mine is with no leaking at all.
