Removing DB killer in akrapovic exhaust
« on: 03 September 2015, 07:14:55 pm »
Hi guys
I recently bought Akrapovic slip on and it sounds great but I decided to try it without the baffle and there is screw that is spot welded.
Do you have any ideas how to remove that? as I don't want to ruin that screw.
Thx a lot

The screw will just probably be metric stainless steel. Just carefuly remove weld and remove screw, if screw head gets damaged in process just buy another one from a local engineering  nut and bolt supplier.

Thx for all your replies, weld has snapped after a quick turn with a spanner.
Akrapovic never replied to my email.
Take care guys
