Oh, has this been a known issue before? Does the top end need to be cut as well or is it typically just the bottom end by the S pipe?

I'm still confused by the stud length issue he had. They even designed the flanges specifically to be shallow enough that new studs wouldn't be necessary.
Yeah man, I have no idea how the bolts are so short either. Is it possible some one set them too deep? A couple of them backed out when I took off the original nuts and I had to reset them myself. I didn't find any torque specs (not that you could use a torque wrench). The studs don't have a hex head insert or anything, I had to buy 2 M7 nuts at Ace hardware and back them into each other to wrench them back into the block. All that being said, all the studs are too short, not just the 3 or 4 I had to reset.
