Exhaust bolts keep falling out

[RedRacingKat]

So I have a dunerunner with a lil aftermarket exhaust and I found a dirt bike track by my house and have been taking my kids to go have some fun but it seems everytime we start jumping jumps the exhaust bolts come out and I tightened them up tigh tight with thread locker to hope to prevent my issue anyone else have suggestions be appreciated

You need to use Red Loctite and let it cure overnight.

I use these and never have that problem again http://www.davesmotors.com/fd280_2.html

I've used studs on several of my vehicles. They will keep you from stripping out the head.

@rcdad hey thanks I had put red loctite on last weekend and let it sit for a week and went out today and bam immediately it popped out so maybe I will try the head studs hopefully that works cus it kinda sucks taking the kids out and keep having to deal with this thanks all for the info

If u cut the heads of the bolts and slot the ends so u can use a flat tip screw driver to install them u can make ur own studs and just double nut them.just get longer than stock exhaust bolts so u have extra threads for the 2 nuts...probably cost under 2 bucks...

So say one bolt hole is messed up cus one side does get loose and the other side stays tight how would I fix that problem could I use a threader whatever it's called tap in dye or something like that?

Yes, you can step up a size and tap it out for a larger bolt, or you can JB weld the stud in so it won't ever come out.

Thanx bud Iam going to attempt this here jb weld if the stud comes loose and looking at that website pictures it says it comes with 4 nuts well I see where 2 go of course but where do the other 2 go to lock it on there tight

 

[Guest]

You just double the nuts on each stud. When you turn two nuts against each other it locks them in place. No thread locker required.

I had the same problem and I ended up going up a size and use a lock washer.
