My friend recently sold his 350z before he sold it he put an exhaust on, my stock 2003 base 350z's stock exhaust was beat. Futhermore he gave me his, tonight, i tried installing it, everything went fine until, I bolted it on, to my mistake i tightened the bolt too tight. the stud broke with the bolt, one stud is still intact and bolted. I was wondering, the harms of leaving my car like this or if it would be a problem?

Likely to cause an exhaust leak or might end up bending the other bolt. I'd take off whichever piece has the broken stud, hammer it out and replace it with a new bolt and nut. That's what I did with all the studs on my OEM Y-Pipe and Muffler, just makes life easier for taking it off.

Yep, remove the bolt with and extractor, then pick up a new one at the harware store. You'll likely have to take the good one off and take it with you to the hardware store, so you can find a match...
