Default Exhaust install--To Loc-tite or not?

Hi all,

Putting BSS on my Fat Bob today but not sure what to Loc-tite and what to never-seize. Do I Loc-tite bracket to trans bolts (red or blue), how about pipe to bracket bolts. Never-seize on O2 sensors only, what about flange nuts.
And why wasn't I told to clean my bung holes.

Pics to follow.


Thanks
AK

Noo....the extreme heat will lock those nuts down. You'll snap them the next time you try to remove. A little anti-seize is a much better idea. That's on the flange nuts.

On everything else, sure you can lok-tite them. Blue should be sufficient.

Did your exhaust come with instructions? Not trying to be smart but I would follow the manufacturers recommendations.
