Help! Why is it that my exhaust keeps falling apart? Its brand new, has all new parts except the Y pipe and it keeps losing brackets, bolts etc. Why is this?

what can I do?

It's Edelcrock isn't it? well no wonder

Seriously though...if anything falls off then it wasn't put in right to begin with. Tighten clamps tighter, use locktite on bolts and tighten them more, of if all else fails you can have it welded, but that really shouldn't be nessecary.

Heating/cooling cycles loosen up the fasteners. An exhaust system ideally should be welded. However in your case where it is all bolted, you will need to check and retighten everything for a while until it has all settled in. Then, periodic inspections and tightenings will still be required.
