|
|
O.K. - So, I may have dropped a nut down my stinger exhaust.
I've never had the baffles out of it so I don't know how they work.
Could the nut have made it past the baffle? Do I need to pull the
exhaust off, or just pull the baffle out? Hope that makes sense.
Thanks in advance. _________________ SOME MORNINGS IT'S JUST NOT

Put a magnetic retriever down the hole and find out. If you pull the baffle out, I recommend running a strong magnet along your header tube until you find the nut (you should hear it clink). Then run the magnet along the tube until you can get it near the collector. Have a buddy fire it up and Rev the puss out of it (keep it revved) while you pull the magnet away.

If a magnet on a long stick doesn't get it, don't worry about it -- ain't gonna hurt chit -- no amount of reversion is gonna suck it back into the valves -- it'll fall out next time you pull the exhaust --
You can pull off the stinger too, and drive around the block a couple of times and it'll probably be gone by the time you're back home.... and if it isn't gone, at least you had some fun pissing off all the neighbors -- You probably won't even be able to hear it rattling around in there LMAO
One final bit of advice -- in the future, keep your nuts away from the end of your stinger!!!! _________________ Remember, as you travel the highway of life,

Thanks guys! I found the nut.
I did remove the baffles just to see what it
would sound like.
Sounds like SH*T!!!
Definitely going to put the baffles back. _________________ SOME MORNINGS IT'S JUST NOT
