we were working on my friends tc today and a bolt snapped in the header/s-pipe connection while he was unbolting it.. so basically half the bolt is stuck in there.. he has stock header & cc-spipe if it matters. any suggestions on how to take the stuck remains out? right now, he's driving with only 1 bolt on.. we didn't have time to check for leaks, but, he wants to know if 1 bolt can seal it up good? if not, what are other alternatives? i told him to get a new header, but he doesn't want to waste his money since he's saving up to get a custom turbo like i am.

gracias.

 

Vice Grips? Depends on how much is sticking out... or isn't.

 

drill the bolt out ?

heh

useless pun

j/k

 

nope it's not sticking out.

is it possible to drill it out? im gonna go with him to a muffler shop tomorrow to see what they can do.. but i just wanted to make sure with you guys first.

 

I'm quite sure the muffler shop will be able to take care of it for you...

You can drill it out and retap it and it'll be just fine... (Just a bit of work)

 

^^ yep.. wat he said.. lol!!
