I went to re-install one of my exhaust tips and noticed the thread inside is stripped; guessing it was tightened too hard when it was previous installed

So, I guess I'll have to re-tap it one size bigger so I can fit a new bolt. Now, I have never done this before; what would be one size up from the stock size?? Anyone know?

Thanks for any help!

 

Measure the bolt that comes out. You may be able to chase the threads if its not bad. Do you have tap set? If not get one.

 

I think it is 8mm but I don't have anything to measure it accurately. I brought it into work; we may have a tap set here. I'll report back in case anyone else runs into this issue.

 

I do know it is an odd ball thread count/pitch.. I will look at my tips later and take it out.

 

Thanks! Retapped for 8x1.25, so I'm guessing stock is maybe 6-7x1.25?

 

didnt want to start a whole new thread over this, but has anyone used these ebay tips? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/99-03-PORSCHE...vxp=mtr&_uhb=1
mine are getting rusty and I want to replace them.

 

I got same these from ebay and shipped to me from China i think they changed my exhaust tone worst of course but didnt change them yet because i like the look and didn't have chance to buy better ones like eiensmann(what ever the name spell)

Don't buy them

 

Those look identical to the ones that came with my Fabspeed x-pipe..

 

Why would tips change the exhaust tone, and why would eisenmann sound any different if the design is identical?

 

Im not sure about that but i felt change in my exhaust tone i think maybe because of the measurement of the tips

but im sure there is change in my exhaust tone, maybe u can get them and check ur self

Maybe someone had better info about tips and if they effect exhaust tone
