MBRP hardware FYI

I installed my new MBRP XL system this evening & when i went to make up the new headpipe I noticed the new bolts they supplied are 3/8 NC instead of 10mm. The 3/8 will start by hand & I would'nt be suprised if many had tightened these up & not realized they had damaged the threads in thier elbow. Otherwise it all installed very nice, except were Ooops must've dinged the end of the tail pipe that slides into the muffler. Note to those with gooseneck hitches, I had to remove the tail pipe after what I thought was the final assembly to trim the channel iron brace for clearance. I used Donaldson SS band clamps from a local diesel supply house $8 ea.

Edit: I talked to Martin at MBRP & he said he'd follow up on the bolts right away, nice guy.
