Removing exhaust

[Doc Harley]

You have to make sure the anti-seize is for high temperature. The stuff I used was good for 5000 degrees and is still there.

Great? I'll have to scope that out.

Copper anti-sieze is what you want, not just regular anti-sieze. Permatex makes some that's at most auto parts stores that is 2000* stuff. Otherwise the best stuff on the market is made by Wurth NI2400, it is pure nickel anti-sieze.

The stuff I put on is rated at 1800°. Someone else put on copper @ 2000° and he says that all disappeared for the temps.

Rat farts!!!!

The stuff I use has nickel in it like Allen said.

Napa, advanced, auto zone. None stock it.

The stuff that "disappeared", did the bolt still come out easily?

I just checked amazon and copper anti seize is 2000 degrees. Is this the stuff I need to buy?

Go with the nickel. Rated at 2400. Kinda to be safe. Already did it once in aluminum.

O'Reilly auto parts. Will have tomorrow morning. 8oz for $26.

I'm running 5 of the 6 bolts for now until I get my rescue bit and I don't have any exhaust leaks, just an FYI. I did notice that the hex bolts I installed that appeared chrome like when installed are now very yellowish from the heat. They are grade 8.8 from Canadian tire, I'm not sure if they were stainless or just coated but they sure discoloured from the heat.

this is another small issue I would have liked to see fixed during testing. Like the mount bolts and rollers. Hopefully some recalls coming

Today I took my bolts out one by one and nickel anti seized them. They came out with a good squeal. The threads show signs on galling after 40 miles. I hope the anti seize works.

Definatly a must do.

Replaced all the exhaust bolts and I would not recommend the stainless steal bolts. Snapped the last one off but was lucky enough to get a vise grip on it to remove it. Seems to me like I couldn't get them to torque to specs. Removed and replaced with flanged head bolts with anti-seize. All good now.

What were you torquing them to? 2 stage torque, 9ft/lbs then 18ft/lbs

I've had bad luck with stainless bolts and screws. They are soft and snap easily and the worse part is you can't drill them out if they snap inside anything. I'm still thinking about drilling out the threads on the turbo and putting bolts nuts and washers. From what I can tell you can do that on 4 of them. This way even if you break them all you do is put new ones in.

Yep. They were just too weak.
