Hi Guys - I'm relatively new here and hoping someone can point me in the right direction...I'm in the process of installing some 16" shorty slashcuts on an 82 exhaust. While loosening the header bolts i managed to break one off - its not sheared, but busted off at the nut. Am I correct in thinking these stud bolts thread out of the case or do i have a big problem on my hands? I also have a 79 that i'm working on, but it's a ways off gettin on the road so i'm not adverse to borrowing a few parts off that one to keep the daily rider going for now - are the 79 headers/header bolts compatible with the 82?
The 79 also has bolt on mufflers, which would temporarily solve my issue with cutting the pipes on the 82 at the right point in order to fit the slash cuts...I cut one of them off but the inner pipe extends too far to fit the shorties on as it is larger in diameter than the interior wall of the new slip ons - will cutting this inner pipe have adverse affects? I've attached a couple pics for reference. Thanks in advance for any advice.
