Stripped
Replacing rear exhaust gasket and the bolt seems to be stripped as I am trying to put it back together. Any idea how to fix my problem. Not aware of any way to fix a stripped bolt but would appriciate any feedback. Thanks

You said the bolt is stripped,I take it then your running a shovel head.Twin cams and Evos run two exhaust studs per exhaust port.then they connect to the cylinder heads using flanges on the exhaust pipes,bolted down with two nuts per port.If its a rear head you may be able to tap it to the next size larger.Front head most likely will have to remove it from the engine(frames in the way).You may also be able to use a heli coil or a insert as a fix.If you dont have a machinist background you might want to leave the repair to someone who dose.Break a tap off and you have a whole new can of worms to play with.
