this is Flameco-T, I am using Direp972 comp..
my downpipe bolts from the drag kit, keep losing thread, I used Loctite red, it is kinda hard to tighten the bolts up, due to clearance, but, we did it as tight as possible and one out of five is coming loose, it exposed about two threads now...

any suggestion ? should I just get the damn things welded..

TIA

 

Do U have a flex pipe in your downpipe? Try this; Weld in a flex pipe, about 5" in length minimum, right before the cat (or test pipe), and use lock washers for the downpipe to turbo and turbo to manifold bolts. This should work. Worked for me when I had the Drag kit.

 

he's absolutely correct!
you also need to know that the heat generated by the turbine will burn any locking adhesive made by man
besides the flex pipe or OEM donut type gasket and cup flange, you also need to go to the hardware store and buy lock washers if you don't have it already. this will cost you less than $1.00
hope this helps

 

I use studs on there now with lock washers, problem solved.

 

and try using anti-seize i dont think loc tite can hold up to those temps
