hyperzone

I swear I just saw them on summit yesterday and now am only finding this... maybe I thought I saw something I didn't but, I thought I saw more stuff than this :

hyperzone

Found them here though : http://www.exoticmuscle.com/webpage....CATSEL=EXHAUST

there's alot of stuff on that page so, just use your browsers search page function and search "breslin". They are selling for $70.

97Formy

Well Summit does carry breslin bolts so I really don't know what to tell you. But If all else fails you could take a drive to Austin and buy them from Austin performance. Thats were I got them

that's a bitch $70 then under them stage 8's for $49 pretty gay...

Use the bolts you want to. All locking bolts work. I've never used the stage 8"s so I'm not going to say anything bad about them, but I have used Breslin's and I have absolutly no complaints so far

well im sure the allen wrench is easier then a gay C-Clip.. im gonna pick some stage 8's up locally i guess how can i tell if my header gaskets gone bad??? also one of my flanges is leaking (paper crap gasket) can I just cut my own outta alum or do they sell metal ones at autozone or something (I assume hookers flange is 3"?)

thanks, Ryan

Go with Breslin. Well worth it from my experience. Buy a cheap Craftsman 12point 3/8" wrench and grind most of the head off for clearance..... I never tightened a header bolt after I put my LT's in. Ive said this 3 times before anyone caught on.

Unless you have a midget on hand, a 4 year old that likes to work on cars, or the motor out, all locking bolts are just a PITA. It can be worth it to get them on, but if they dont work, you will be cussing the whole time removing them.

I had issues with the stage 8 fittings that go over the bolts stripping over time. ( the bolt is in a hex pattern, and the retention fitting would round off around the hex.(most likely due to vibration) Essentially I had locked on pieces of crap that were hard to get off.
Do all stage 8 bolts fail like this, most likley not, but they have lost my vote. Especially after how much they were. Sure they can send me a few new bolts if i call them, but that does not fix the fact of having to change a gasket after you put trust in their product.

And for those that have taken them off. What was the best way of removing the C clips, out of curiosity?

I am sticking with the lok tight paste from now on. It seems to work pretty well with a 1 inch bolt set.

I had to do the same thing to get those buggers on. I have no exhaust leak as of yet so I'm very happy with them.
