New to blasters, picked up a '93 with that big Coffman Rocket exhaust hooked to OEM waterbox. Per Coffman instructions, using only the large strap to secure the water box.
Problem: Three of the four rivets holding the exhaust inlet (the pipe side) keep breaking. I've riveted them back with rivets of the same size and within a little while they fail and then the fumes leak into the engine compartment. As of this moment I drilled a half dozen new holes w/rivets in line with the existing rivets and hope the added rigidity will solve the problem. Have yet to ride it though.
Has anyone else had the same problem? If so has there been long lasting solution using the OEM or should I just expect to get an aluminum unit lined up.
