anybody run no exhaust ... only turbo elbow? ... how many fires will I start?
... and how many noise tickets will I get? ... I can't get the damn broken bolts out of the turbo elbow ... I've tried a torch, easy-outs, drill bits, locking pliers, pb-blaster, dremel tool. ... I'm about to get medevil on it.

I had that prob on my 280zx turbo downpipe. I had a buddy w/ a "rosebud" tip & worked wonders. About 10 minutes on each bolt, and they backed right out. So find yourself a rosebud tip for the oxy-acetylene torch & you'll be rockin!

does the torch have to be oxy-acetylene ... can a lesser torch work like a plumbing micro torch or does it not have enough heat power ... my dremel burst into flames last week in my hands
it was a cool site though ... I was putting too much strain on it cutting thru exhaust pipe ... I got an angle grinder now ... I need to get another dremel they do come in handy
