Im running a factory limited pipe on my sx and the bracket for the chamber broke see pic. so from what i can figure the leverage of the pipe moving caused the bolts from the b pipe to the exhaust manifold to strip out. has anyone else had to retap the exhaust manifold? what did you use i was thinking of going to stainless steel allen bolt. oh and what thread did you retap to? thanks

i forgot to upload the pic last time. im planning on rettaping the manifold this weekend. the oem bolt is 10mx1.25. im thinking of just running the same tap threw it to see if i can just repair the treads in side the manifold because they dont look that bad but i have a feeling its not going to work. Any suggestion id really appreciate it. im worried about making sure im tapping straight because there isnt really any where to fit a square
Lucky i have a friend that tig welds so i was able to repair the bracket.
