Is the stock tailpipe stainless steel?
I want to add a small piece of flex pipe in the tail pipe right after my 2-to-1 stock cat.
The flex bolts rusted away and I bolted the flange right to the cat with straight bolts, so the system lost a bit of flex and it's putting some stress on the tailpipe-muffler joint. Anyway, my question is, is the tailpipe stainless steel? It certainly does not look like it. Will this work to cut it? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846 Also, got the SVX out after being on jackstands in the garage for 10 months. Ran perfectly! Except, of course, the exhaust. |

Yes.........
even stainless can rust when it is paired with steel....

Re: Is the stock tailpipe stainless steel?
About $8.00 for the pair of bolts,
about $2.00 for the nuts, about $16.00 for the springs IF they are missing, or if you had to cut them to get it apart. Normally those springs last forever, unless they are damaged.

Re: Is the stock tailpipe stainless steel?
I've found that honda spring bolts are an exact match for ours, and are available aftermarket for just $2.42 a pair for the entire bolt/nut/spring set. Just a tip!

Re: Is the stock tailpipe stainless steel?
they make a two piece collar flange that you can install around the original if yours is too rusty. it's just two curved pieces that the bolts go through.

Re: Is the stock tailpipe stainless steel?
We used them on an outback here and they worked perfect. Compared them directly to SVX bolts as well. Though not identical, they work perfectly
