Because the pipes coming into the collector normally do not allow room to slip a bolt into the hole on the manifold side and there is barely enough room for a nut and a wrench on the turbo side
If you had a turbo you'd know this.

I've never had my manifold to head or manifold to turbo studs come loose. The down pipe ones are another story.

Very interesting... Looks easier to use than those Stage 8 setups...
