Cutting discs for the dremel to get the U bend bolts off

[furtive]

You may need a precat to manifold gasket, the 3 x 10mm flanged nuts to hold the pre cat pipe to manifold, 3 x 8mm x 25mm stainless bolt/nuts/washers to hold the exhaust bend pipe to the cat pipe, exhaust sealant. I guess you get all the clamps with the new box.

 

Those of you attempting this first, please post where you get all these bits from so I can order them too

ebay's the best place for small supplies of stainless bolts

ok guys, just got the heads up from Larini, first batch of systems has gone out.

 

Order 39125 (Julian) will go a little later as that will have to be combined with a decat, so that's going next week.

 

I'll let you know about the rest (that's the next batch which we've ask to produce asap.)

Does it have to be stainless bolts or will normal steel bolts be Ok?

Ha ha not pinching pennies just wondered if there's a benefit? I know all the stainless bolts that everyone keeps using is reacting with their alloy pretty badly, just wondered why?

[cressey]

Think you're mistaken there. It's people using Stainless bolts to secure clams to their aluminium chassis. Using dissimilar metals like this causes them to react. Wherever possible, use the same materials to prevent this type of reaction. Your exhaust will be Stainless so I'd recommend Stainless bolts. You'll also be glad you did if you ever need to remove it.

Bloody hell I know that 😪, I take it the only benefit is removal then 😇

[cressey]

Apologies if that seemed a little condescending then. When you're using slitting discs on your dremel next week to remove your current exhaust, I'm sure you'll shell out the extra pennies for some stainless ones.

[Tibbles Stryker]

What an arse, one bolt sheared, brilliant, the second partially done so will hacksaw blade off easily.... The third looks grim 😭, has anyone received there's yet, looks like it maybe Monday delivery
