Exhaust bolt electrolysis

[soapy]

A friend of mine with a 3 year old 1500 had 2 bolts at an exhaust flange on the pipes rot away. All the other bolts are fine, anyone else see this happen?

Yes. My neighbor has a 2019 RAM Hemi. His pipe flange bolts at the muffler inlet rotted away. He took it to the local muffler shop and got it fixed.

Check the ground strap that runs from the muffler to the frame,if it's missing,he should probably replace it.

Exhaust Ground Strap Rusted

Hello, Quick question. I was putting the factory exhaust back on for a long road trip and I noticed that the exhaust ground strap had rusted through. I plan on replacing, but is it okay to drive without it for a week or two? Thanks in advance.
