I was trying to take my y-pipe off and broke the bolt on the manifold off!

Anybody have a spare used one from a header swap or something lying around? I really could use it as there's a horrible exhaust leak now.

Please let me know.

oh, and i messed with the two bolts that are still there and it's not too bad now, so i'm not in the huge hurry i was in anymore

when you gut your cat does it usually make a wind type noise when you step on it? mine seems to me making that and it sounds like it's coming from that area.

 

You don't need a new manifold. Just find a bolt at a hardware store. I did the same thing .

Obviously, you will have to get the rest of the stud out of the manifold (IOW, yank the manifold), but you don't need a new one.

BTW...Gutting the cats will make the car sound pretty bad, IMO. So some weird noises are going to be expected. Exhaust leak-like sound, etc...

I got one Kyle..make me an offer via email at prietojr@hotmail.com

thanks,
Rick

 

Yeah, i've got that sound now. I might try to find someone with an off-road pipe, or maybe just get a straight pipe welded in.

SO...to get that broken stud out I should go ahead and yank the manifold off?

thanks for the help, i'll let you know rick if i need it.

Come on now Rick!! Those things are not even worth selling. I will give you one man if you need it!! SOME PEOPLES KIDS!!!

 

They came off of an LT1 that my gf's brother was working on....I can't just say for free so when I asked him how much he wanted for them he said "whatever they are worth".....if that is $0 dollars then so be it...again, I am just not in the position to give out other people's parts for free Tony.

Rick

 

Yeah, Rick. DAMN!

I'll let you know if I need one. PM what you want for it, I'm good for it

Kyle

PS - Thanks Tony, if Rick trys to **** rape me with the price I might take you up on the offer!

 

Kyle,
I'll give to one if you want to come out to my house and get it.
call my cell 214-793-0029

 

like I said they arent mine to give out for free BUT if they are worthless online then i will let the guy who has em know and see if he is cool with me giving them to Kyle for free....i am not trying to be a cheap bastard here guys....

where's the middle finger smiley when ya need it

 

Richard: If I haven't acquired one by the next time I'm in Dallas I'll take you up on that offer. Thanks.

Rick: Dude, I understand. Let me know if he'll let it go for nothin or dirt cheap You're still a cheap bastard though! When's that damn car of yours gonna be finished??


ALSO: what's my best option to get rid of that *** sound that the gutted cat makes? Get an o/r pipe or just weld in a tube in place of the cat?

 

I know Rick!! Just thought I would lite the fire a little!! HEHE!
