striped camry head bolts

Not sure that you'll find many camry experts here, mostly truck...but I would say no. They aren't overly hard to strip, since the heads are aluminum, but I would say it's a crappy mechanic issue, not a camry issue. So if it's a widespread problem, it's because of a mechanic not knowing what the hell he's doing. You've got to be careful when you work with any bolts on an aluminum head.

If its the head, just tap it out to the next size bolt. I also put a flexible joint between the downpipe and the rest of the exhaust to eat up the excess vibrations and shock to those bolts and the aluminum head, from the weight of the entire exhaust system.
