A "fix" for annoying Magnum exhaust pipe flange bolts
"Dodge" should have their a$$ kicked for some of their design nonsense. One of them is the annoying clips that are supposed to hold Magnum header flange bolts. The clips rust, the bolts spin, and you cannot get a wrench on them. I've now torn down several of these, (junkers) and most of them I had to plasma the bolts in half to get them apart.
I may regret using these bolts I PLANNED on "next time" using grade 2 bolts....perhaps even downsizing to 5/16 so they are easier to twist off with a wrench. Anyhow here are the clips and the "for now fix............."
