Went through a bunch of threads regarding axle back exhaust installations, but couldn't find anyone using Loctite (threadlocker) to eliminate movement of the exhaust tip (not staying centered in the bumber cut-out) or pipes getting loose in general.

For those who did (or plan to), did you use the BLUE 242 (Med strength) or the RED (high strength) 271 or the RED Hi-Temp 272?

Well 242 and 271 will only have 25% or less strength at that temperature, while 272 will have 75% strength at 200 degrees C. The choice is obvious.

Yes, I was thinking that 272 was the way to go too.

Was originally asking because many members go into detail on their installations, but there's always no mention of using any type of threadlocker.

Just thought this topic will help the future self-installer.

I got a question on exhaust, I just got my replacement flowmasters yesterday and they are installed, how do I adjust the one muffler to let it sit up higher? The right muffler sits about 1/4 inch lower than the other and anytime I try to adjust it myself, I have no luck, the rubber inside the hanger brackets just stretches cause of the weight of the mufflers, any input?

hey mav. I have the same problem now. I might just add another clamp
