If you have not touched your ECM (tuner or what have you), just put the factory header/exhaust back on and take it in to a Harley service center.
Tell them you heard a noise and looked down and found the stud sheared.
They have seen that many times... and will probably fix it without you having to pay for it. (not saying this is honest, but it's something you can do).

If you have touched the ECM, take it to an indy and pay for the repair.
