magnaflow exhaust tip keeps coming loose

cschoening09 · October 13th, 2010, 08:04 PM

anyone else having issues with their magnaflow catback exhaust tip(s) coming loose and goin all cockeyed??..all that holds them in place is a little set screw, i get it as tight as i possibly can but its always bumping loose and out of alignment

I'd just get them tack welded on. Should cost you next to nothing.

By dumped do people just mean they have no tips?

very common problem with magnaflow. Trim the rod down and then use locktite on the allen wrench screw

pretty much. after the muffler, there will be like a 3 inch pipe that turns down towards the ground.

dumped mean to have the exhaust pipe dumped right after the muffler. There is no tubing to lead to the back.
