When the body was mounted after paint, Ken’s team mounted the exhaust side pipes. I have the Gas’N Touring side pipes and they’re gorgeous! To be honest, the 4-into-1 headers for the Coyote are pretty stout and with the proper mounting, they haven’t budged in 190 miles of go-kart/driving around, but I needed to mount the exhaust hangers just to remove any stress from the side pipes bouncing around over bumps, etc. A worst case scenario, the headers crack from the flex of the pipes and have to be replaced… so onto the setup!
The regular installation includes long bolts that are to be drilled through the 2″ square tube in the floor. Many don’t like this scenario for a few reasons:
1. the holes are rather long and need a bolt to be exposed in the footbox. Although it’s on the drop down section in the footbox, it’s one more thing you ‘could’ get hung up on.
2. another hole into the carpet and interior, just one more (minute) way to induce water into the floor pan. Like many others, I opted to use rivnuts so it’s one hole with threads and doesn’t protrude into the footbox.
It’s a pretty simple setup to be honest, the toughest part is getting the rivnut tool into that space – trust me, jackstands really helped in this case. I used some blue loctite on the bolts to keep them snug.
