Damaged muffler intake holes?

[stars]

ok the left hole won'r screw in at all. i think the threads is damaged & the right hole will screw in & tight in up. im riding on one screw because the other intake hole will just fall out if i put a screw in. any help or ideals? what to do..

Hey i just found out my threads inside my Muffler intake hole is stripped!!! when i try to screw a screw in on the left hole it will not screw in & tight in up. im using a m6 10x30 screw but the right hole will screw in & tight in up. im thinking i might need a new cylinder body what do you think?

best is to heli-coil it, might be OK tapped a tad larger, new cylinder as a last resort

next time use the muffler hanger that comes with the kit

whats heli coil? explain more because i one side of the intake holes screws in & the other side doesn't.

best to search the board here for heli-coil or google it

ok i read it & basically a threat repair right? and do you need to drill because i dont have no drill

you're pretty much stuck then - even the new top end may not work if you don't have a torque wrench

you may want to look for a repair guy in your area
