I took out the OEM exhaust, and installed the Injen SES. Beautiful deep tone, just got one problem....

I got the exhaust on both the rubber hangers right now, but I had to use these metal zip-tie things to hold the two pipes together.

The problem is that the oem bolt doesn't have the nut on the other side to screw into. The nuts are welded onto the old exhaust pipe.

Heres a pic:



So basically theres nothing to hold it in place, how would I go about solving this issue?

Thanks

 

picture isn't working

 

Should be up now.



Theres nothing to hold the bolt from the other side.

 

Home depot and Lowe's have assorted nuts and a tool for figuring out which one you need. Just be sure it's metric.

 

yeah just bring your bolt with you down to a hardware or auto store and find a matching nut. just be aware the oem bolt is tapered so make sure the nut fits all the way on and not just the beginning.

 

I just put the OEM back on

I'm 100% sure the nut is a 14mm though. Does the nut I need have any specific look, or can I just pick up a regular 14mm one that would go all the way on.

 

I have that same axle back Injen exhaust... I think I had some extra parts from another install. PM me if you're interested... and I'll check... if I have them, if you cover shipping (which wouldn't be much) I'll give'em to ya.

 

i had an injen ses exhaust before and had nuts were weld on the exhaust. I don't why your exhaust didn't come with it. any 14mm nuts should work

when i first looks at the first picture I thought that was a coilovers lol

 

Install went smooth, thanks guys.

 

Thats wierd, mine came with everything, even the nuts welded on to the exhaust. But eh, glad to hear u got it on.
