Premium Member freeman Posted July 3, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 3, 2015 This is the second time I lose my M4 baffle. I used locktite the second time as well. Is there anything else I can do to prevent this from happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'm not familiar with the M4. How is the baffle held in, screws? Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hobbs Posted July 3, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 3, 2015 I have the same problem with the Delkevic baffle. Carefully examine the baffle. In my case, the female nut was only attached with 2 tack welds. That's where it broke, not the male screw that goes though the exhaust collar. I had to run a bead of weld around the whole thingthing. 2 tack welds aren't going to hold up worth a damn to that level of heat and shock. Everything went braap.

Premium Member freeman Posted July 3, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted July 3, 2015 Yea. Its a single bolt that holds it in place. I assuming it vibrated out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hobbs Posted July 3, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 3, 2015 That's why I say carefully examine the baffle before installation. I thought I was losing the bolt too, but it was actually breaking off at the weld. I suspect this might be your issue. With a lock washer, the bolt should be pretty secure. Everything went braap.
