My tubes and collectors have been bolted for 10 years now to the frame. Never an issue.

I guess I am missing something, in the first part it is stated they must be securely fastened with bolts so IS my OEM tab/bolted connection good or not?

I kind of read it that way too,except there probably will be another rule amendment that the hangar and muffler clamp have to be NHRA accepted.The Napa version may not qualify.LOL

Excellent question...I've wondered since they state half in stitch welds (but doesn't state welding collector to primary tubes) why doesn't a tab on each tube using fasteners qualify. You still have the minimum weld area and you're still using fasteners and it still requires "tools" to remove. Think I'll wait this out as long as possible and see what the FINAL decision is.

looks like that might be applying to cars with full exhaust only

NHRA needs to hire a technical writer that a) knows what they are writing about, b) English is their first language, because that rule revision is very poorly worded
