Magnaflow tips issue

[CrazyHorn]

Well the same thing hapenned again, the tips got loose, or well its the rod that goes to the rubber insert in the back bumper thats loose, I know its the bolt that holds it that just keep getting loose so what would you guys do in my situation, would you get it welded ? Anyways help is apreciated as its a pain in the ass to go and tight that bolt.

I just got magnaflow tips welded on.. it cost 30 bucks, because they had to bend an extra little piece of pipe for the drivers side. But yeah.. 30 bucks to never have to think about it again seems a good deal to me.

 

[CrazyHorn]

So welding them would be the best idea, I'll check around for it, thanks for the info.

Just put loctite on the little set screws that hold them on.

i just tightened mine as hard as i could/ no problems. i'd try the loctite before getting them welded.

I put some jb weld on the entire length of the rod with a syringe so to not make a mess and it works great.

Weld 'em and don't look back.

 

[CrazyHorn]

Ok, I'll try loctite before the welding, I did tight them as hard as I could the last time and it was still loose today but the rod was a little further than it should have been the last time I tight it.
With the loctite if I put that on the bolt, do I need to remove the bolt completely ?

I had to have mine welded also. Cost about $50 at Meinike Muffler.

Guys,Guys,Guys. Save 50 or 30 Dollars. $6 for a tube of industrial stength of JB weld. Less money and time compared to a muffler shop.

I've tightened mine as much as I could--almost breaking the supplied allen wrench. Haven't had any issues since and it's been almost 2 years.

Exactly what I thought. I paid $20 to have mine welded.

Had mine on for about a year with no welding or loctite. Maybe I'm lucky

I used loctite on mine and am glad i did, after i installed my x pipe, one of my tips stuck out like 2 inches farther, i dont know if it was a bad fitting pipe or what but it pushed the whole side of the catback out the back of the car and if i had them welded my tips would be ruined because they would have had to cut them and re weld. I used loctite and just had to break the allen screw loose and adjust and re loctite.

Good point. Mine needed adjusting when I got the mid pipe too. It'd suck if you welded them!

I was warned about this when i put mine on but its been on for about 8 months and no problems. mine is for the IRS so it might be a little different but i doubt the tips are different.

My came loose for about 2 years before I used loctite.

 

[TrueBlue03]

wow. i thought i was the only one with this problem. didnt know there were more out there with the tips losening up. i'll try the loctite.
