yeah thats always the fun bit

i was on a trip to the simpson desert a few months ago with some mates and one of them cracked through all but one of his dump pipe studs. we removed his hole exhaurst system up to the dump pipe and tired it on with wire. it lasted the the 3000KM trip back, rather noise though.

remove the dump pipe when it is DEAD cold - don't even start it up to move it into the shed - put it where you are going to do the job the night before.

Spray bolts with WD40 or similar when you can touch the dump pipe by hand and then let it sit till the next morning.
