I have a new exhaust flex tube and muffler from Bobcat. Also a clamp for connecting the tube to the muffler. The muffler is pretty straightforward. I've had it out before. Anyone with any tips about how to go about swapping out the flex tube. The old tube had some cracks in it and it is sooting up the engine. Anyone with any tips about cleaning out the engine after I get the new tube and muffler in and verify no leaks. Thanks Allen

Have a torch handy and heat the manifold up red hot to break any rust on the bolts. Then turn them carfully and try not to twist them off.
Use new bolts to go back together.
Hopefully it will go well
If not on my 773 g there was room to put a nut behind the manifold on the one bolt that broke and I had to drill out ruining the thread.
Hopefully all 4 will co operate for you

OK...I think I see the vision you are going for with those bolts. Sounds fun. Looks like I will try to set aside more time that I had originally figured for doing that...since I'm sure they will be on there pretty good. I would guess this is the original flex tube. Thanks Allen
