AFTERMARKET DOWNPIPES ONLY

Just curious if more people discard the stock bolts with springs or if they reuse them.

Installing my DP tonight.

Stock for me, no problems.

 

Well it depends if the dp uses the stock donut! if i does i would use the stock bolts. if not use shorter ones with no springs

 

i have a buschur and it doesn't use the stock donut.... it also came with it's own bolts and springs..... which is a must since i tried to reuse the old ones and they would just get in the way of the actual piping since it's bigger

 

Buschur bolts and lock washers.

 

ditto

 

bolted on an espilir 3" DP with the stock bolts w/ springs

 

Buschur bolts and lock washers, worked fine for me.

 

I had to cut my bolts off (Thanks MA winters) so I used the ones WORKS gave me.

 

sup D (got my text)? yeah used the stock bolts for the Espelir DP...but gotta check it again thought, I think I may have to go with a shorter bolt or put a washer or two on the stock. Sounds I'm hearing, it's like a leak but I checked but no leak anywhere else.

 

Buschur downpipe, his bolts and washers.

 

Megan downpipe with stainless steel bolts,lock washer, flat washer, anti-seize... the damn thing comes off all the time... good bolts!

I highly suggest getting your own for any downpipe that does not use the OE donut correctly.

 

^^sup V, sorry off topic, didn't know you had an issue, let me know when you are planning on working on it. call me when you go to autobacs want to see how it is.

 

On my HKS dp I was instructed to re-use the stock spring bolts... The problem is that when they are loose, the dp leaks and when they are tightened the whole way down, the springs are fully compressed. I posted a thread about this and no one seemed to know anything.

 

bump for some more responses
