Removing exhaust

[DMCTurbo]

Anyone else have a hard time removing the exhaust bolts?

The through bolts came out hard and removed some material. I chased the threads and installed 3 studs. 8 mm x 1.25. Put some anti seize on the other bolts.

You need a ball end Torx (T50) to avoid any issues (as a couple of the bolts need to be taken at an angle...)

Yep....still came out hard.

Of the 6, 1 came out normal, 2 stripped on the way out(I had to apply outward pressure as I unscrewed them), 2 broke and I had to cut one as it seized half the way out. I couldn't turn it back in either. WTF. Tried penetrant and heat. No luck. So now I have 3 to drill out and 2 to retap. Not very happy especially when it's on the turbo.

And to top it all off I couldn't outrun my buddy on his 09 1200 doo. Not too freakin happy right now!

do not use ball end unless top quality like maatco or snap on...an easier way is to remove the bit from a socket and use it in a box end wrench...fits in the tight area perfect

...interesting - it worked fine for me. The same way the Yama Techs take em off (ball end torx). Get'em off however you can I guess...

Are you running an XTX or a BTX?

Wait, the 1200 is 130HP stock. Add a header and muffler and you're at around 150HP. Something doesn't add up here. And replace those stock bolts with hex head bolts.

My modded NA nytro will beat a 1200 and my sidewinder plays with the nytro something really doesn't add up?
