Just was ready tonite after class to install the H pipe. Got all the bolts hot and ran them under PB blaster for the last day. Found a bolt on the pass side connected to the catback was stripped. Pissed me the f*ck off and I give up haha. You think if I take it to a muffler place, since I am getting new flowmasters since mine are getting old, that they would tap all the bolts and oxygen sensors lose for a couple extra bucks? Or do you guys have any other tips? K imma go drink cause im pissed. K bye.

 

all you have to do is go to sears and get the sockets that pull off stripped bolts then go to home depot and by a new bolt....

 

if its stripped that bad... cut it, and buy a stainless bolt and make it work.

 

i just cut mine off and replaced them!! it was worth it 4 the time i saved.

 

Cut it and get new bolts. They are like 10 bucks for the set from ford.

 

+1 on cutting the bolts and replacing.

 

go to ace hardware 4 bolts,lock washers,and nuts = 4.00 and no waiting for the mail to run.

 

Sounds good guys Thanks!

 

or try drilling out if none of that works.

Have you even got the passenger side manifold part? It's not as bad as everyone says but it's not the easiest either.
