Stainless Steel Bolts

[Spy]

I am currently contemplating changing out my stock 996 Turbo exhaust for a sportier sounding model.

From much reading, I know it is recommended to change the bolts for the exhaust and other bits (eg turbo bolts etc) for stainless steel bolts seeing as the exhaust is off.

I had a few questions:
- I believe that Stainless Steel does not have the tensile strength of the OEM steel bolts. Is this an issue or is there a specific type of stainless steel bolts I should be looking for ?

- Where, and which, Stainless Steel bolts are recommended ?

- Which are the ones I should be looking to change, what are their sizes and how many of each ?

Thanks for your help

OK, looking at getting this done in the next couple of weeks.

Can someone confirm the following:

- Are A2 Stainless Steel bolts OK to fix the Manifold to the Engine ?

- Are A2 Stainless steel nuts OK to connect the Turbo to Cats using the existing carbon steel studs ?

Thanks
