Supradan Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Had my cw de-cat pipes fitted today,they had an absolute nightmare as one of the bolt threads was buggered so now its blowing cos they couldnt tighten it up far enough. Glad i didnt try doing it myself lol Spose im gonna have to take it all off now and re tap the bolt hole Anyone else had this problem? The cw pipes fitted perfectly and are a first class job would recommend his to anyone.Car feels more responsive and picks up quicker well pleased Does anyone know the size and pitch of the studs going from 1st cat to manifold?

JohnA Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Those are known to be bitchy, as they have been baked by the high temps of the exhaust. It takes spraying with various substances and delicate techniques, but you may still shear studs and have to drill them out. You should have a couple of studs on the side just in case. Barstewards.

JohnA Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I had mine lying around, Vaux items fitted perfectly lol.... Try Toyota, they won't be much anyway. Remember to use copper grease while assemblying parts you might take apart later on. Just like wheelnuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
