MotoFanatic Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 All, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I've got a general and specific question concerning the spring loaded bolts (for lack of better term) to bolt a cat-back exhaust to the original catalytic converter. 1) What's the purpose of those spring loaded bolts. Why not use regular bolts. 2) What's the torque setting for those. I recently got a Borla cat-back and it doesn't say how much to tighten those bolts. It says for the other bolts but not those. If there are no torque specs, what's considered too tight and what's too lose?? I hate to lose one of those going down the road. Thanks for any help!! -Moto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
