Hi guys
Often time when I am trying to do some work on my car, I find instructions that skip certain things because 'everybody knows' some steps. Unfortunately, I don't know all the little tips and tricks. I just pulled off my exhaust - the car came with a a Bursch glasspack exhaust that makes a terrible sound. My car also came with a bunch of spares, I thought I'd try the stock muffler that came in the pile. Although there were no gaskets when I removed the old muffler, I assume there should be? Also, occaasioanly I see reference to copper nuts, copper paste, anit-seize - are there extra things I should be doing besides just using a new gasket and a bolt from Ace hardware? I would like to be able to get this muffler off in a year or so, so any tips are appreciated! Thanks pf |

I've always used the gaskets and regular bolts with anti seize, washers, lock washers, and nuts from the hardware store to attach the mufflers. I wouldn't recommend using the nylon locknuts as they might melt with heat from the exhaust. They've always worked and have unbolted when needed to swap out the muffler. I think you'll prefer the stock banana muffler to the rather noisy Bursch.
