Default RE: Lost muffler

G'day Mate,
This is true for all mufflers with through bolts, if the bolt is tightened, tight, as the muffler gets hot & expands, the bolt won't expand & it snaps, causing the loss of the rear end.
Only tighten em enough so the end won't rotate, then lock the nut down firmly, it will allow for expansion, & won't snap off.
