PSA: Anti-seize on exhaust bolts made my life easier

We used to fight with rusty bolts. Now I put anti-seize on, and they come off clean.

Yeah totally. Heard mechanics swear by that trick for years.

Notice how the best fixes are usually the simple, old-school ones. Fancy tools and tech come and go but that greasy tube of anti-seize is always on the shelf.

But what if that old fix causes a bigger problem later? Anti-seize can mess with torque readings and lead to over-tightened bolts. Sometimes the new way is better because it stops you from making a simple mistake.

Just make sure it's high-temp anti-seize for exhausts.
