    So last night a local member and I decided to swap exhausts. ive unbolted my exhaust about 6 times at the flange no problem. Not sure about his coming off. But we both somehow managed to break a bolt at the flange.

    Does anyone know of anywhere other than the dealership to get a similar bolt. Springs are fine and I'd rather put a SS NUT and BOLT on there. But I noticed the bolt has a spacer type deal made into it right before the threads.

    Have you tried NAPA or RockAuto?

    Did you soak with penetrating oil for a couple days before the removal?

    Nope. I just had it mine off about 2 months ago and it came off easy then. I wasn't expecting an issue

    Anyone ever use these type of aftermarket bolts? Or am I better off just buying some as hardware and bolting the two pieces back together
