    You'll get sticker shock if you buy the nuts and bolts from the dealer.., around $50 or so but the nuts are copper infused to help keep them from seizing. Use plenty of anti-seize compound and they'll come right off the next time you need to remove the exhaust system.
    I used heat on both my exhaust and San's exhaust when we put my TSE3 on it. The nuts came right off. The threads were rusted off my bolts so I had to replace but San's were still in good shape so we didn't need to replace. We just put it back together with some copper based anti- seize and new gaskets and it was GTG
    What kind of torch do you use for this?

    A propane torch will work but it will take longer. Propane doesn't burn as hot as other gases. You want to get the nut cherry red.

    I love the outer Banks and Kitty hawk area. It's just so far away from me. An 11 hour drive.


    Car looks great!

    Thanks for the compliment.

    The outer banks is a great place. Not as long as a drive for you but still about 5 hours for me

    But you are probably close to Destin Florida.
