Exhaust stud size

Big J · 04-01-2012, 12:17 PM

Does anybody know this off the top of their head? I'm not home right now so can't check myself.

Whats the stud size of the bolts that connect the midpipe to the rear muffler section? And can they be knocked out like regular studs or will it require some cutting to get the bolt out. Mine were stripped so I got to replace them.

Anyone know the answer to this? I've been pressing mine all day, beating them with a punch and sledge and nothing is budging them.

AFAIK the stock muffler studs are a part of the flange and cannot be removed. I think you're just going to have to buy another section of the pipe that has it stripped.

Well if that's true, I'd just drill it out. No reason to spend money on another section lol but I haven't bought or borrowed a bit to drill them out.
